Ronda

Ronda says what she thinks. Always. Loud and clear and without apologizing for it. It sounds like a thunderstorm. It feels like freedom.

Beneath all that hardness is a small child who just wants to be seen. Not what she does. Not how strong she is. Just her.

Crocodiles have not changed in two hundred million years. They survived the extinction of the dinosaurs. They are the only animal that watched dinosaurs live and die — and is still here.

Around Ronda you dare to say what you really think. You stop pretending. It's a little scary. It's mostly liberating.
