I lost both my parents at 19. I’ve been
bullied and attacked for simply being
myself. After 13 years on social media,
I’ve found my voice. I’m not less than
anyone I just see the world differently.
Thank you for letting me be me here.

Last summer I stood before
the Martin Luther King Jr.
Memorial in Washington, DC.
Stone can’t fully hold the
weight of his courage or his
words. But standing there
reminded me that justice is
unfinished work and each
of us is responsible for
carrying it forward. The dream
still asks something of us.

I didn’t just talk about my journey with autism.
I also shared how watching Dhar Mann and
his inspiring videos helped me, and how the
cast and the stories they tell mean a lot to me.

Before Christmas, I had
the honor of being interviewed
by Jovanna Vidal, an actress
from Dhar Mann, to talk about
my journey with autism and my
story. It meant a lot to share my
experiences and be heard. 😊

It’s been ten years today
since I lost my mom to heart
failure it’s always a really hard
day for me to get through.
But I think of the good
memories we had together.
Here’s a photo of me and my
mom it’s my favourite picture.

like integrity, empathy,

usually with a meaningful
lesson at the end.

During my time away, I’ve been
trying to focus on things that feel
uplifting and grounding. I’ve been
watching a lot of Dhar Mann on
YouTube, and honestly, his videos
have been such a bright spot for
me during these hard times.

The constant negativity was starting
to take a toll, and I needed some time away to
reset and protect my peace. Grateful to those
who checked in and stuck around. ❤️

I know I’ve been pretty quiet here,
and some of you have wondered where
I went. I decided to take a step back for
a bit because all the uncertainty in the
world lately has felt really heavy.

started off as a difficult beginning came
with challenges, uncertainty, and moments
that tested me more than I anticipated.

I'm learning to celebrate
the small victories getting
through a hard day, speaking
up when I usually stay silent,
choosing hope over fear.
Those moments matter.

I get my groceries delivered because
of my PTSD and anxiety, which can make
everyday tasks difficult for me. It’s something
that helps me manage my mental health.
I wish people wouldn’t be so judgmental
about choices that don’t affect them.

I've been doubted,
misunderstood,
and underestimated
but I'm still here, still
trying, still growing.
That's something
to be proud of. 😊
