MariaMichelle'leeIn this episode, Dana talks with MariaMichelle'lee about being authentically yourself, and breaking down the barriers and constraints that hold us back from being our truest selves. MariaMichelle'lee reinforces the notion that we truly do not owe anyone an explanation of who we are or what we stand for. She believes that we are perfectly imperfect, and the constant explaining of ourselves is only holding us back from living into who we are. MariaMichelle'lee says "People will know you by what your character carries" - and she couldn't be more right!
