Evangelist

“It can’t be anyone else but you”, her colleagues echoed on seeing the picture on the mantelpiece. “Don’t tell me you haven’t seen an uglier being…” she jested in good humor. “This marked the beginning of the greatest evangelist for diversity.” They were serious, and meant what they said. https://only100words.xyz/2019/11/14/three-line-tales-week-198/
