City: Gallup, NM

Brain Injury: As a child I fell and hit my head, I also have been in two car accidents and hit the right side of my head.

Explanation of Mask: The right side of my mask with the grasshopper (white) represents how I am seen as busy- jumping from one project to the next. The energizer rabbit represents always busy and cannot sit still. The left side of the brain shows the pain I get when I have a bad headache. They gray sides show my feelings on being alone wearing a goth mask. The pink side is how I want people to see me as happy. I continue to stay confident, courageous, empowered and focused. I have completed my master’s degree in social work so that I can help advocate for other people seeking help.
