Over the last year I have worked as a prevention educator at the nonprofit, Resilience, in Chicago, providing child sexual abuse prevention education to youth, adolescents, teachers, caregivers and adult service professionals. My work continues to challenge me inside and outside of the workplace, and I am thankful to MVYouth for the role it’s played in getting me to where I am today. I love living in Chicago, and will be going on 3 years of living there this Spring. I am grateful to my community near and far for supporting me as I embrace my authentic self.
