Last November I wrote my first notes about sharing my story publicly, with the hopes of sharing this at WordCamp US. At the time, I was not even sure I was ready to share, much less ready to speak at WordCamp US in Washington DC. None the less, I decided to submit my talk, and the rest is now history.
Having the opportunity to share this at WordCamp US in Washington DC this year was a great highlight of my life, and a definite marker for the beginning of my next story.
While in DC, I visited a ton of other places — as one must — in this historic city, including a tour of The White House, Capitol, and several museums! Here are some of the other highlights of my trip!
