Ottum Yates is from Los Angeles, California and is currently living in South Bay. She learned to mask her anxiety and depression as young as the age of two. While Ottum’s physical health started to decrease, her mental state got worse and caused her to feel alone. She wants to share her story to reflect the feelings and ideas of others who are affected by mental illness.

Ottum shares her story in the This Is My Brave The Show, LA 2017.
