I believe that sharing life experience holds value.

Putting stories from one’s own life into words has power.

Storytelling helps us shape our personal narrative and make sense of what we have been through and solidifies the lessons we learn to carry forward into the future.

And it is through words we have the ability to share our experience with others so that we may learn from one another to build better lives, stronger communities, and a more harmonious and compassionate world.

This is why I write.
