A little more of my story by way of
#introduction. I am the founder of an online
#SpiritualCare space called Nnoshé’s House where I read

#SpiritualMentorship to those on the fringes. I’m a
#neurodivergent #chronicallyill #GenX babe who was diagnosed with
#ADHD just over a year ago. In addition to all of this, I am a
#NativeAmerican #TransracialAdoptee who is also a

#Storyteller passionate about
#SocialJustice and
#HealingJustice. Let’s connect!

Memories, Lemonade & Brotherly Love
It is unreal the number of people who have told us how much we look alike. Though I’d love to be as handsome as he, we just don’t see it. People seem to love the idea of siblings sharing the stage and here in Italia family is, well- FAMILY. Though our bond is deep, and I think that’s what people are really responding to, familial resemblance has nothing to do with it. That would be down to our shared childhood. You know how going away to camp as a child draws children together so quickly? How fighting side by side in a war or as a volunteer in the wake of a natural disaster creates a sort of instant bonding? People who go through life altering or traumatic events together develop an impenetrable solidarity.
