Before I became this big ray of awesomeness
I was a child who was passed around different foster homes since I was 5, faced countless adoption rejections and endured many years of verbal abuse and physical abuse.
.
I used to envy folks with family; now I don’t even know how to react to the family thing most of the time.

This is one of 2 pics that I know that’s still around from when I was a kid. (I’m just seeing this one today).
.
I spent majority of my teen years in a group home and many of those years I spent every Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, in my room wondering why can’t I go home.
.
I’ve met awesome folks along the way. I’ve made major progress from the young me. I’ve seen folks come and go so much I’m used to it .
.
This is me this is my truth and I’m now the hero that little Mikal always needed when he was a kid and didn’t have one.
“The 1st time I “came out” to my family & friends, I didn’t want to have the conversation in person. So, I posted my preferred name & my pronouns on Facebook. Fortunately, some showed their support by positively reacting to the post.
However, the post did not signal the end of my journey. I often use different pronouns, & I’m still not sure how I identify. Coming out is still a process for me. With support, I’ve learned that that’s okay.” - Tyunique, Philadelphia
