My life's work is rooted in a deep commitment to bringing visibility to childhood trauma — and confronting the ways its wounds, left unaddressed, ripple through families, communities, and generations. I advocate unapologetically for global awareness of childhood trauma because until we name what happened to us, we cannot begin to heal from it, individually or collectively. I am a proponent of giving voice to the voiceless — and a firm believer that when we open our mouths and speak our truths, that act of courage becomes a healing balm for both the listener and the speaker.
