Thank you for sharing your inspirational story, Allison. Although I don't have a story such as yours to relate I do want to say I've never been more proud to vote for ANY president as I was the 2 times I voted for Obama. Happy Obama Appreciation Day to you as well. And thank you for all your encouraging Break Downs!
Thank you Allison - a wonderful tribute - and Yes, as others have said, you are a true trooper, motivator and inspiration to us all. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I remember with great fondness his first inaugural when he kept repeating, “Yes, we can”. Which stands in vivid contrast with the essence of Trump, “No, you can’t"
I was attracted to your straightforward, witty, honest, professional style the first time I 'met' you on Substack in conversation with Waj Ali. While these are hateful times, kindness radiates from you both even as you sometimes use dark humor as a relaease valve; it is always in the service of highlighting your demand for accountability. I had respect and admiration for Waj after reading his memoir--'Go Back To Where You Came From.' Reading his book led me to his Substack which led me to you. Reading your story confirms my intuition. You are a lovely human being. I wish you lived in my neighborhood. I'd love to share a cup of tea or glass of wine and a 'real life' conversation. Thanks for all the work you do to help keep us all informed. Happy Obama Day! It's fun to appreciate that he inspired you.
You are an inspiration, too, Allison. Right after Obama rescinded the no-gays-in-government law from the McCarthy era in the presence of former federal astronomer Frank Kameny—who spent most of his later legal career fighting against it—I wrote the President a thank you letter. That Christmas I received a Christmas card with the White House illuminated in rainbow lights. It is a prized possession.
I needed to hear this today. I’m struggling with finding the energy to keep thinking creatively about ways to make money & your signature grit is giving me a boost. Thanks
Thank you, Allison for being an inspiration as well. We respect your journey, your truth and your sincerity.
💯 - this is exactly what I would have said had you not beaten me to it! 😆
Nicely said, and I wholeheartedly agree!!
Brava and well stated. Allison is a beautiful human. 🫶🏻
I love Obama. He is a cool person.
I love Obama. A wonderful man. Humanitarian
Thank you, Allison. You were inspired by Obama to inspire us. I appreciate you both!

Thank you for reminding me of my favorite president. I only wish he was my current one.

I'm glad the road you travelled intersected with Obama's. I find you both inspiring.

We celebrate my late Mother's birthday today, happy to have been given life, love and encouragement from her. Happy Birthday Joan
