About the Book
Together with Connie Chuy, this collaborative piece is created for shocking people from the matrix. Using clever and simplistic illustrations, this book stirs against the currents of the social norm with goals to awaken insight and critical thought of what is going on around you. My goal is to raise funds to complete the book and build out the program with the accompanying workbook to shed light on how we communicate through verbal and non-verbal cues that have created misunderstandings and complacency in the relationships we have. In the past several years, since the pandemic, many people have gone through losses and these losses have put us all in a state of shock. Our thinking has also changed due to so much fear of uncertainty.

The Cause
I am raising funds to continue working on my passion of helping families become more aware of certain cues and be more connected with one another to help prevent the rising rates of depression and suicide around the world. Sometimes depression looks like a teen who has everything and has plenty of friends and yet what they yearn most is the connection and acceptance of their parents. My program is interactive and helps families learn how to be more patient of one another’s differences and overcome obstacles in a shorter amount of time through implementing self-care habits sooner as opposed to later. Kids tend to mirror back to parents what is being shown to them based on our own behaviors and ways of reacting.

90 Days Empowering Families from Within
Your donations will go directly to this fun and educational program for families to learn to vocally express themselves and be heard. It is important to acknowledge and recognize our children’s experiences, and provide a safe space for them to express their thoughts and feelings without fear of being criticized. Our goal is to acknowledge and restore the power of one’s voice.
