City: Asheville

Brain Injury: I received a TBI from a motor vehicle accident in 2013

Explanation of mask:  I divided my mask in three parts: Hope, Faith, and Love.  The top left corner has a cross which represents faith.  The top right corner has an anchor that represents hope.  The bottom section has a heart with the state of Louisiana that represents love.  The brown pelican is the state bird.  The magnolia is the state flower.  The crawfish is my favorite food to eat, especially boiled.  Louisiana represents my Cajun culture and heritage and “Laissez le bon temps rouler,” means “Let the good times roll.”
