How to Help
Below are resources for three causes that matter deeply to me: 🌍 Human Rights, 🕊️ Humanitarian Aid, and 🌸 Sexual Abuse Support & Healing. These are shaped by my lived experience, my values, and my personal story.
But your path is different. Your path is brilliantly designed, and only you can know what stirs your soul. I encourage you to choose causes that resonate with you.
And if you’re not sure what those are yet, I’ve compiled a list below to spark your thinking. It’s certainly not exhaustive, but it’s a place to begin.
Your voice matters—and we need it to face what lies ahead. No one's coming to save us. The world shifts when we do.
