An excerpt from Lael Couper Jepson at SheSpeaks 2018, sharing a story at her women's storytelling series at One Longfellow Square in Portland, Maine. This story bit frames the overall theme for the storytelling series: Sovereign.

"Being sovereign for me, now, isn't about being possessed...it's about being in FULL possession of everything I am, everything I see, everything I feel, everything I know to be true for me."

- Lael Couper Jepson
