Now, months later, that first hoodie still hangs in my closet like a trophy. I’ve added two more Sp5der pieces since, each marking a milestone—my first group project presentation, my first ATL concert, and my first real friend made in class. When I FaceTime my family back home, they joke, “You look American now.” Maybe I do. But more than that, I feel global—rooted in where I’m from but open to where I’m going. All thanks to a spider that wove me into a new chapter.
