Rebecca Powell- Rebecca is a 27-year-old college student, studying Psychology and Creative Writing, and working hard to complete her senior year of studies at UNH Manchester. Eager to pursue a career in Clinical Art and Expressive Therapy, she yearns to take her fifteen-year struggle with anorexia and recurrent, treatment-resistant, Major Depressive Disorder and use it to become someone because of the experience, not in spite of it. With a journal by her side through years of extensive treatment, pen and paper became a best friend that evolved into a passion for creative expression. Becca is grateful to TIMB for the chance to push herself to speak up and humbled to be sharing the stage with such brave, creative souls.

"Until the day I realized, I created you. And with a timeless sigh, you handed back all of my searching knowing it was understood, I was the hope."
