Members of the BIPOC community are no stranger to feelings of despair. Tiara shares her personal story of struggling with high-functioning depression and feelings of despair so that others can find hope in their journey as well.

"I noticed it was easier to run away from despair when I constantly kept myself busy doing things for everyone else around me- and ignoring my own well-being." Tiara says. "I was one of those “strong” friends - on the outside. And I realize now how important it is to check in on your strong friends. Check in on the people in your life that seem like they are handing the uncertainties of life with grace and poise. "
