Peace, y’all. Shout outs to LASHAE HAROLD for the love and support to Scott McKnight! LaShae was really creative with the contest: she made her own Scott McKnight jacket and included her ticket stub in the number 1 in Scott’s number (19)! I really appreciate all the support! Love!

Lots of cool and interesting photos were submitted. These are some honorable mentions! I really appreciate all the love y’all gave! But most of all, I really appreciate all the support for Just Wright. Make sure to check it out if you haven’t already seen it!
