Erica's Naturalization Ceremony

My friend Erica is originally from South Africa and came to the US over 20 years ago. She is a writer, mother, grandmother, wife, dear friend of mine, and simply a wonderful human being.. Documenting her Naturalization Ceremony at the Sandra Day O'Connor Federal Courthouse in downtown Phoenix was very special and memorable to me. It was so emotional to see so many people from all over the world coming together to become citizens of this wonderful country, a melting pot of diversity of all shapes, colors and cultural backgrounds. I look forward to being one of them one day...
