Michaela and Delaney are inseparable cousins. They have been thick as thieves since they met when they were three. They've been lucky enough to cackle across the globe together. Delaney has the most infectious laugh. Keep your ear out for it. When not laughing, Michaela can always rely on Delaney to give her honest opinion and check her sassiness. Delaney just received her PhD. in immunology from Dartmouth, but she would much rather talk about knitting. She is an incredibly skilled knitter (she knit the sweater she's wearing in her photo, and made me a matching one as well).

Since Freshman year in high school, Michaela and Alex have been holding on to each other for dear life. At this point, they've been laughing and crying together for 15 years. Without fail, Alex is the friend who always puts in the most effort. Alex's friendship is in part directly responsible for the mission of the Lumena Foundation Michaela and Andrea co-founded. She is your strongest advocate and unlike Michaela will promptly reply to all your messages.

Michaela has been looking up to Veronica since Freshman year of highschool. She inspires Michaela to be brave in all things. In short, she is an absolute bad*ss who takes no prisoners. Like Alex, Veronica's friendship is in part directly responsible for the mission of the Lumena Foundation Michaela and Andrea co-founded. She is an incredible writer, poet, and advocate.

Clara and Michaela met first semester Freshman year of college and have been fast friends since (11 years). Michaela can talk to Clara about anything. You can count on her to make bonfires in the woods and to dance in the rain or under the moon. Without fail Clara makes Michaela smile and feel seen even on the worst days. It is an established fact in their friend circle that Clara gives the best hugs.
