your big sis.
I am a real-life big sis, here to bring positivity and continue to open the door for tough conversations within our community. I am actively grieving, healing and discovering how to become the best version of myself. I'm learning quickly that this is a lifelong task. My ultimate goal is that everyone finds their inner cheerleader. It doesn't matter how many supporters you have around you. When you sit in silence and self-reflect, can you look into the mirror and genuinely affirm your love for the person standing in front of you? If the answer is no, don't worry I got you!
