Life for me growing up, particularly during me teenage years, was never easy as I was different. My name is Katherine Ackles, twenty-five years-old, and this is my story on how I met the woman who changed my life forever.

I turned to the coffee machine behind me and began making her a cup.
"Your shop is really lovely," she complimented.
I set her a mug of coffee on the counter. "Thank you. I designed it myself.
