8 years ago, my friends and I created ‘The Elluminati’ as a way for us to stay connected as we all went on separate paths by going to different high schools. The idea eventually grew and expanded to other people over the years, but for me it helped in regaining a sense of confidence in myself I had thought was long lost. In relaunching this platform to the public, I wanted to thank everyone who has been there for me throughout the years. I wouldn’t be able to put myself and my stories out there to the world without their constant reassurance and emotional support at all times in my life 💚💚💚
