City: Charlotte

Brain Injury: Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attacks, and blood pressure induced brain injury

Explanation of Mask: My mask shows how the stroke has changed me. These are the feelings and experiences I have gone through, and the lasting effects on my life: prison inside myself, alone, can’t communicate, can’t see, can’t read or write, weak, feeling inferior, depressed, not worthy of life, a burden.
