I Thought I Was a Mistake

from Real Human Moments Project · host TruthBeToldWorld with ILONA POKA

She thought she was a mistake. It took her decades to learn otherwise. Petra Williams joins Real Human Moments to talk about growing up with a rare condition, the bullying that followed her through school, and the moment a stranger's comment finally forced her hand. This one is about shame, and about the exact moment she stopped handing other people the power over how she felt.
