“Being unheard can be deeply painful, regardless of whether it’s from a friend, parent, child, neighbor, healthcare provider, or government. Establishing an environment where individuals feel safe to express themselves without fear of stigma or retribution allows me to feel like I’m making a small yet significant contribution to my communities, particularly on health, human rights, and justice issues.”
