Elm City Freddy Fixer Parade

Here is the list of the award winners from yesterday's Freddy Fixer Parade. I won the Elm City Freddy Fixer Spirit Award in the 1st Place award category! I'm so so honored and yet at the same time, I don't even feel worthy of such a prestigious designation. I just do what I do because I can and it feels so good to give back to the Freddy Fixer Community. I do it to honor the community, not the other way around.  


It's funny because people have been congratulating me for winning the Spirit Award, and I just thought it was another name for the volunteer legacy award that I was presented with at the gala on Friday. Nope, it's actually another award. 


I would like to thank this year's judges for the award: Nuke Rankins, Adriane Vegas Jefferson, and Shon Howard. I would also like to thank the entire Freddy Fixer Board and Parade Organizing Committee. So much time, hard work, and love go into making the parade happen.


I would like to highlight and thank Diane X Brown and Petisia M. Adger for all of their work for the Freddy Fixer Parade and the entire New Haven community. If it wasn't for them I don't think there would have even been a parade these last ten years. They are the real deal and they walk the walk every day. I would follow them anywhere.


I'm so thankful for this award and will to my best to do my part to keep the Freddy Fixer Spirit alive.
