City: Allentown

Brain Injury: TBI as a young teen, followed by multiple repeat brain injuries

Explanation of mask: The journey of my brain injury is full of emotion… loss betrayal, anger, hopelessness.  Tears.  It is dark and scary.  But the light drives out the dark.  It gets better.  There is always hope… the pain is part of the process.

Hope to represent hope after Head injury and my determination to never give up.  Music note to represent that I began to write music after my TBI and am not a singer-songwriter.  Cross to represent faith and Jesus- the source of all my hope.  Heart to represent the Love of God through it all.
