City: Waipahu, HI

Brain Injury: Ex-husband hit the back of a parked semi truck.

Explanation of Mask:  The first mask I made was to show who I was when the TBI first happened. This is my recovery mask, to show who I am after 20 years after my first brain injury.
Colors represent a rainbow and how I am, rainbows are a sign of hope and recovery. Red lips are for the shape of my heart to represent the support I get from my current husband who loves me, cherishes me, embraces my spirit and I am allowed to speak, and when I speak it comes from my heart.
