Explanation of Mask: The colors represent my heritage and the place where my children were born. America is where I call home.  I put my son’s eyes in my mask because I try to see life through his eyes.  I feel grateful about life!  I am resilient and motivated in my recovery.  Resilient is the name of my book that inspires people to never give up! Neki is the title of my next book.
