INTERVIEW EXCERPTS

(1:41-2:01)  “I was at a point in 2014 when a lot of bad things were happening to me. I was feeling very depressed. I sort of lost myself in a way. I couldn’t find answers because nobody in my life or in my family ever had any experience with mental illness. So I didn’t know what was happening.” 

(10:15-10:22) “My own healing was for people to listen to me and for people to be able to say I don’t know what you’re going through personally but I’m willing to listen and I’m trying to understand to the best of my ability.”
