This was my first speech (ever, in front of a big audience) at the “Speak Life: A Creative Space to Cultivate the Power of Your Words” a Women’s Mental Health Conference hosted by the YouAreCollective at the Santa Clara Convention Center!

Their goal is to cultivate creative awareness of mental health for women through life-changing events like “Speak Life” that inspire women to:

• Find the power in words through positive affirmations
• Ignite their creative soul
• Seek help through professional resources
• Encourage true wellness
• Have a sense of community & belonging

I was a part of the “Women + Wellness” talks- talks to remind the audience that they have a reason to live, that they are more than their illness, challenges, and struggles.

My topic was “I am Loved.”
