Her Story Speaks
by Andrea Miller
When we have the courage to share our stories-walls break down and shame is cast out. Stories have the power to build bridges and break down stereotypes. Relationships, connections, compassion and empathy are built on stories shared and heard. Can stories change the world? Yes—but only if we are brave enough to tell our story and listen to the stories of others. Join me as as real women speak their stories- raw and real, broken and whole, finished and open-ended.
