This story was told by Rayshonda “Sunshine” McLemore to Kyonda Trass in an interview. It has been lightly edited for length. I’m naturally a people person and always have been. As a kid, my mom used to say I was “too damn friendly” because I was always hugging people. I love hard and I love for real. I also understand that everyone has a story, and we don’t always know what a person has dealt with. A simple smile can change someone’s whole day. Sometimes I smile just to stop myself from crying.
