Christina Schankin encourages empathy and community in her essay

Christina is excited to be a part of This Is My Brave because she has a story to be told, one of bravery, knowledge, enlightenment, protection, inner-self-reflection, change and removal of self-doubt. She wants to be a symbol of hope for others to never give up on yourself, and to follow the path your heart leads you on, no matter what.
