Here I am. Again, my body empowered by my brain. It’s a strategy I’ve used since I was a girl, as a way to hide my emotional scars. Now, as a mother and a leader in my community, I can’t be afraid to be my true self. I have to use my voice, show who I am and be ready to reveal those scars. We all have scars: they’re stories of what we’ve been through and proof of how strong we can be. Be you.
