Congratulations Jo Povi Romero!

Povi, thank you for being my family out here in NH. Thank you for visiting Sophia in the hospital after her surgery. You will never fully know how much it meant to me when your beautiful and familiar face walked into that hospital room. You exude love and kindness. I am so proud of you and I am grateful that I got to be even a small part of your Dartmouth cheering team!

Povi!

You cactus flower you! You're a goddess of creation in your studio art world. The introspective insight you have for your work and details makes you one of the most considerate initiative people I am fortunate to have in my life. When you create I just adore your talent and sincere patience to enjoy the unknown.

Yours dreamly,
TF

Even though graduation is going to look different for you, the achievement is still the same. You've put in the same hard work. You've learned and grown so much. And your family and friends couldn't be prouder!
We're sorry you've had to let go of the graduation ceremony and celebrating you've been looking forward to.  The kids and I wish it could have been different, but we want you to know we're still so proud of you and what you've achieved. Best wishes Povi!

I am so proud of you and your ability to just be yourself has inspired me so much and I thank you for that.

Congratulations Povi!!! I'm so proud of you and the hard work you put in to get here. You had rough times and persevere like a true Native Woman. I love you so much and can't wait to see all the amazing art you create next!!!

Dearest Povi Po, 
Thank you for all of the memories, late nights in the studio, and for all of the thrilling adventures in the BEMA. I often think of the time you named and started calling me Baadlandz. I am just so ecstatic that you finished your last term strong, surrounded by the love and support from your family and friends. I am also just so proud of your resilience; YOU DID IT!! I cannot wait to see where you end up painting the world and seeing more of that weird art (weird as in dope asf). Love you very much and Congratulations on your big day! Peace, Gusti Wynds

Povi is hard to know & impossible to grasp. She sneaks up on you. So natural her being there that you begin to forget she ever wasn't. She is effervescent, effusive, and genuine as an artist should be, and she will show the world that they always should've known her.
Congrats,
The Sinner

This has been a long journey for us.  I remember driving Povi to Rio Grande school when she was in 6th grade and they opened a space for her because they were so impressed with her.  Everyday I would drive into Santa Fe to pick her up and play Gigantic by the Pixies when she got in the car.  It's been a long remarkable journey...you've earned it every step of the way.  ❤

Congrats poop butt you did it!!!!!!
