The “R” word
Today, we are talking about how ‘role models’ are so overrated and how we all have the potential to be our very own superhero. We are discussing the importance of representation because we believe you ‘cannot be what you cannot see.’ We are also sharing how stereotyped compliments, received during childhood, can make or break us. Finally, we cover how we have been using affirmations to give us strength and help us heal.
But don't worry it is not all serious, as once again, we did cry with laughter.
