🌸One word that describes Gina is courageous. She is unapologetically bold and fun. She takes up space and doesn’t mind sharing the space with others because she is clear it could never take away from her own. Gina is someone you want by your side and in your corner.
🌸Another word to describe Gina is “Legacy”. She is constantly building and moving all of us forward through her willingness to be direct and fearless. From her family to her friends she is always creating spaces for us to be loved, celebrated, and seen.
Love you G!!
