My vision came from my own experiences with sensory needs, with mental health, neurodiversity.
I've got a whole long list.
We don't have time for me to dive into all of my diagnosis, but it really comes from
living in those communities and experiencing a lot of systems that were, you know, quote
unquote, supposed to work, that were designed to help people like me, but ultimately failed
me from the school system, from friends to even state run organizations.
And it really, from those moments, I learned that there are a lot of systems in place that
don't work, but they also don't honor all of who a person is.
So as I grew older, as I really started sharing my story, I knew a big part of my life is
that I wanted to be able to deliver the care, the compassion and the empathy that my community
deserves, but also in a creative, unique and empowering way.
