Emanie is a content creator, safe space facilitator, and a woman who is passionate about advocating for her community.  She speaks on how therapy has helped her over the years and got her out of her dark space.  She speaks about how her traumatic experiences as a youth has impacted her as an adult and she is able to relate and help people live a more fulfilling life in the midst of overcoming their own mental brick wall.  The first step was understanding that she had to forgive herself before she could forgive those who caused her harm in her past.  Therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is a sign of growth and understanding that no one is perfect and everyone can speak their truth without the cultural stigma of it being a sign of weakness.
