    25. Tim Banks: VibeRel Advocate

      I love being able to share the mat with @abgushte.bsky.social as she is on her jiujitsu journey. I do my best not to stick my nose in unless she asks me, and when she does, it’s a treat to share a part of me that I love with a woman a love so deeply.
      Kim, a focused white belt in a black gi, sits across from Tim — a seasoned black belt whose warm, patient energy fills the frame — as they gently work through the nuances of a sleeve grip together on the mats at Black Widow MMA. It’s a quiet, tender moment of learning: two people leaning into each other’s curiosity and knowledge, hands connected, the whole world narrowed down to this one small, important question. In the background, another practitioner rests peacefully, and above them all, the colorful gym mural watches over like a guardian of the grappling arts. The “Rolling for Rights” logo anchors the corner — a reminder that this space is built on something bigger than technique. 🕷️🤍🖤
