Stories of Pandemic: resonance beyond the horizon
Everybody has a story. We just don’t take the time to know theirs that often. One of our heaviest burdens is bearing an untold story within us. But it is our stories that bring us together. The comfort in relating to a story that tells us, we are not alone. It is a unique untold tacit bond that we share, that makes us human. We all go through life, experiencing a multitude of emotions. The joy of success, the regret of failure. The confidence in overcoming obstacles, and the grief of loss. For life is hardly ever as picture-perfect as the movies. There is light and dark in all of us - the good, bad, and ugly. Most of which we tend to hide away from the world, but it is our battle scars that stand the test of time as a testament to our victories.

Yes I do belong – Women closing the gender gap in unconventional professions
Women grow up being told to rein in their dreams and aspirations to fit a certain template of what the world thinks they should be like.
