— Clementine L.

She eliminates the wall between you and her quickly by being willing to not just say, oh, I’ve been through some things, but look, here they are. She paints pictures with her words at the same time that she is showing you ACTUAL pictures and the sensory experience of that just sticks. Every time I was lost in the story she tied it back to why it matters that I know her story. What a gift to be able to do that without losing authenticity.
