As an artist herself, she experienced the healing power of art and in her own words, "I ASSERT my own negative inner pain, TRANSFORM it into a work of art I can cherish, and as I share it, it helps me TRANSCEND my struggle as it may also help another! Through my therapeutic art, I want to help empower others who have also gone through mental, physical, and emotional harassment regain their identity and self-love."
