I was a Featured Story-Teller for PeaceLove an incredible organization that amplifies healing through expressive arts & storytelling. I shared my story for the 1st time with over 400 people! I talked about how writing is my medicine. Mental Wellness is a human right and art can heal. For me, this is personal-I have a brother who is bi-polar & other family members & friends who have struggled with suicidal thoughts. I have literally flown across continents to pick up pieces of my loved ones glueing them back together with love, patience and therapy.
I will not be silent.
Speaking out & offering resources to those in need is something I believe in, so please support @peacelove in all they do!
