Our newest storyteller is someone who doesn’t just *talk* about healing — they live it, breathe it, and guide others through it with empathy, honesty, and a deep understanding of the human experience. What started as a passion for teaching — rooted in how writing became a lifeline through their own struggles — evolved into something even more powerful: a calling to walk with people through trauma, pain, and transformation.
