The Crucible:Conversations for the Curious

Highlight

"No matter what happens to us, no matter what traumatic experience we go through, we always have the power to choose. We always have the power to say no. We always have the power to stand up and say, this is not okay with me anymore.
Everything that happened in my life was needed for me to grow, to expand, and to become who I am today.
I'm grateful for all those experiences because I would not be here talking to you today if I would not go through all those experiences."
