It’s been a year already. I couldn’t imagine I’d be so lucky to have such a loving and thoughtful companion. Every moment is precious whether it be when we’re on the couch netflixing or getting our hands dirty in the mud mixing.

If you heard my wedding vows or know a bit of my past, you’d understand how deeply this statement resonates.
I feel lucky every day to have @ephream_amare in my life—to be a part of his family and to have him be a part of mine.
I’m proud of myself for continuing to learn my worth and to believe that I deserve a deep, thoughtful love.
OH! And we got our wedding video back—this is just a very short, cropped edit!!!

Forman Arts Initiative, @muralarts and the Office of Immigrant Affairs present Nadia Hironaka & Matthew Suib’s The Philadelphians on view from May 7 – June 8, 2025
The Philadelphians is a public art projection and city-wide project celebrating the city’s vibrant immigrant communities, past and present. Created by Philadelphia-based artist duo Nadia Hironaka and Matthew Suib (Hironaka & Suib), this is the second annual project from Forman Arts Initiative (FAI) and Mural Arts Philadelphia’s (MAP) Public Works program, a residency program embedding artists within Philadelphia civic agencies. Presented in LOVE Park, The Philadelphians will be accompanied by a series of public programs, workshops, and panel discussions with support from Philadelphia Parks and Recreation. The project’s centerpiece, a large-scale video projection, will wrap 360º around LOVE Park’s Visitor Center and will be on view from May 7 – June 8, 2025, with the projection beginning at 5 PM and ending at midnight daily.
“Immigrant stories and family history are a part of all our narratives. More importantly, they reflect who Philadelphians are today, how we continuously work in communities, civic life, and government to make our city better, and how our roots connect us to the rest of the world,” said artist duo Hironaka & Suib.

“…I just feel so lucky and so at ease when I think about our future together. If I close my eyes, I can see it all play out. I am sure life will throw us some curveballs, but I am also sure that I couldn’t have a better partner to figure it all out with. I love you and I’m so excited for our future.”
