“There’s no doubt in my mind that this city contains Magic. I came for an internship in 1997, and I just never left. Any negative expectations I had were shattered by the diversity of the people and the place. I learned trade here. I learned love here. I learned family here. To me, Birmingham means Transformation. Birmingham means Home. Birmingham means Magic.”
