The Quiet Betrayal: A Confession About My Skin.
I’ve always seen myself as a lone wolf — someone who walks her own path, unaffected by the noise of the world.

Where the Quiet Boys Go.
Dear Danny, It’s been so many years, and I’m only just allowing myself to say your name out loud again. Daniel Dakum. I saw a picture today. A Facebook story—of all places. A woman I barely know, smiling with her children. In the background was a banner with your name on it: Daniel Dakum Foundation. It knocked the breath out of me. I blinked like maybe I had misread it. And then I saw another image—your family, all of them on stage, gathered around a penciled portrait of you. That soft face. That gentle smile. Just like I remember. And suddenly, you were everywhere. In my chest. In my throat. In the tears I didn’t know I had buried so deep.
