Keira Ludke

My name is Keira Ludke, and I live in Milford, Ohio. One object that I think represents family really well for me is my grandmother's wind-up music boxes.  I used to be fascinated by all the little trinkets, all the little music boxes that she would have.

Every time I hear those, I get flashback memories of doing crafts with my grandmother or just being around Family. Family means to me, a it means unapologetic love. It means meeting, finding community that sees you in every facet of your being and decides every time to love you, even when it's inconvenient. That translates beyond just blood relation; family translates to chosen family as well.
