Dear Leader,
I want to start by saying this: You are worthy. You are powerful. And you belong in every room you walk into.
But I know how hard it can be to believe that sometimes.
For over a decade, I felt like I didn’t belong. I told myself stories about not being enough, not being capable, not being seen. In school, I was told I’d never achieve my dreams - like studying abroad, which was all I wanted at the time.
So, I hid behind masks. I tried to fit into spaces that didn’t feel right, and deep down, I felt invisible and alone.
