City: Waukesha

Brain Injury: Pseudotumor Cerebri 2011 was my 1st brain surgery to put in a VP shunt. In 2013, it broke and malfunctioned. It took three more brain surgeries to repair it. I am now visually impaired.

Explanation of Mask: I tried to make mine a sugar skull, like from Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead. My mask represents a departed soul; that is how it feels. I accept the new me as I know we are not to doubt God’s path.
