💌 Define America
Around this time three years ago, about 11 hours before the New York Times posted my "coming out" essay, I wondered, would anyone really care? Who would read a 4,000-word essay on immigration? Could one specific story--my story, a story I was afraid and ashamed to tell---underscore a greater universal truth about immigration and citizenship in a changing America?
Then, the next day, June 22, 2011, life changed--for the better.
More than 250 events in 44 states later-- Define Americanis growing from a campaign into a nationally recognized non-profit organization thanks to the contributions of our generous donors and supporters. All I can say is thank you. You find purpose when you find gratitude. Maraming salamat, muchas gracias, thank you to all of you: for supporting me, for challenging me, for helping give my life purpose.
