Explanation of Mask: My mask describes my feelings and emotions that are my goals. Yellow  represents my goal to be happy. The purple represents my want to be romantic. I want the red to stand for feeling important, however right now it
stands for my aggression. The mask also describes my feelings now. I feel like I am a burden to my family because I cannot be left alone. Someone has to be with me always, which I believe is unfair. I am unhappy  because I cannot drive anymore. I have to rely on other people. The heart represents me and the black outline represents me being unhappy that I have to rely on others. The black fist hand represents my activism. I am a big advocate for the brain injury community in Durham, North Carolina. I believe in fair wages and safer housing for all. The blue ribbon represents
me being sad which stands for the color blue.
