February is Black History Month
This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating the achievements of our employees and their contributions to our community. #MoCoBHM.
As the daughter of a military service member, I developed a deep appreciation and passion for reverently experiencing other cultures. My hobbies are traveling worldwide to experience cultures different from my own through food, art, and music, and cooking and hosting family and friends.
