Maya turned 30 this month. We first met during Summer Bridge at UCSD and remained tight throughout the years. Our friendship began like many preschoolers begin theirs; I had never been away from my tiny town of Fillmore and cried as my mom and grandma dropped me off in a new place, far from home. Maya didn't want me to feel sad so she invited me to the dinning hall with her and reassured me that it would be okay. She even taught me how to ride the city buses. In my defense, we can walk from one side of town to the other around Fillmore.
Maya, thank you for always being honest and vulnerable with me. I'm glad I can be an extension of your conscience :) You're my dawg.
