when she said that about children protecting their immigrant parents about things they don’t understand...i felt that

Wow. punishing and humiliating a child for excellence. that is horrific.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate this quote though: "Even though you are at the centre of your experience, that doesn't mean that there aren't other experiences that don't centre you." Amazing.

That's not a silly trauma. Those things impact kids. I'm really glad that she was able to contact that teacher later in life and speak her piece from a position of conviction and strength.

Yo I promise teachers, cops and managers need to pass mental heath classes before they can take the job.

This is why so many teachers should NOT be teachers! I'm so thankful for all of the teachers who supported me like her drama teacher supported her!

That teacher is horrible. No one deserves to be wrongfully accused of plagiarism. I’ve heard stories of people who have been wrongfully accused and the process they have to go through to prove they didn’t plagiarize is terrible.

my bet is that horrible 'teacher' tells everyone how she made Constance who she is.

The part where she talks about trying to protect her parents was very relatable. I've had the same type of experience when I was younger, almost the exact same situation when I was in first grade, I was the only immigrant kid in my class/the only person who seemed "un-American" and didn't speak English well. My teacher was always mean to me and belittled me and I didn't want to get my parents involved thinking she would just insult them and probably make things more difficult for my entire family because my parents barely spoke English. Didn't realize it at the time but looking back, she showed many signs that she was racist/xenophobic and treated me like shit because she knew I had a language barrier and couldn't retaliate.

I can never forget this. It's almost 2 decades ago when I was 10, an asian kid in my class was yelled at by the teacher in front of everybody because he didn't get his parents sign a permission slip. She asked why didn't they sign it. He said "They don't understand English..." Her reply was "YOU know English and YOUR parents doesn't? UNACCEPTABLE" and walked away. One of his friend was curious himself and asked why don't they don't speak English and the asian kid explained that it's because they grew up in Korea all their life and went through high school and college only in Korea. That shit I cannot ever forget because I was an Asian immigrant myself.. so when Constance said she felt the need to protect her parents.. I knew what she meant

You can feel the hurt in her eyes :(

It is the WORST feeling being accused of lying, when you haven’t.

That is pure cruelty. Regardless what the outcome that teacher didn't have to parade her to all teacher to just try to prove that teacher's point.

That’s why we need to have Asian representations in the mainstream culture. We need more narratives like this to widen our perspectives so that we can grow together as a society and country.

I am an immigrant from Eastern Europe. We immigrated to the U.S. when I was ten. Here in the U.S. in one of my classes, I was asked to draw a crown. I drew a crown that females wore in Russian folk tales. The teacher told me "That is not a crown." I was like yes it is. She was like no it's not. She was so wrong.

"There can be a 100 teachers in the room and 99 don't believe in you but she had this one. All it takes is 1 that changed your whole life."

Uhh Sam didn’t ask her what the teacher said after she called her! I hope she apologized. That’s so rude!

OMG, I just wanted to hug her as she spoke of how her teachers, save the one, disregarded and demeaned her. I hope, during that phone call, she really gave that something to think about.

It happened the same thing to me. My literature teacher didn't like me cause I was Asian and because she didn't find any grammar issue on my papers she'd correct the words I'd chosen to use and give me 4/10 because of that. One time I made my classmates read my paper, they were all moved by it and surprised by the score I received. So that day I gathered some courage and asked my teacher if I offended her in anyways and if there was anything I've done to make her believe I wasn't deserving a decent score. She replied "Why would you ask me that? You're so pretty, I've nothing against you" From that replied I realized that I wasn't the one with the problem, but she was. I'm from Italy and I was born and raised here, and each word I've chosen to use on every single paper was the right one I wanted and intended to use to express my feelings and my thoughts. After high school, I went to University and graduate in Media and Journalism. I've worked as a journalist, worked and many integration projects between the Asian and the Italian community, got on National television and did way more than her f**king score made me believe I was possible to do. In all that, I didn't have my parents support. My dad was too busy thinking about work and my mom was a classic tiger mom, so whenever I'd go home with low score she would blame me for being too flawed.

I’m Mexican i totally understand what she meant by trying to protect your parents from whatever is happening in school like they have so much shit to deal with, school problems are not going to be one of them.

Big up to Constance's drama teacher for believing she did write the opening to her paper 😍

Being a child of an immigrant speaks of a diff experience. You carry a responsibility to protect your parents and help them from ignorant ppl. I've seen my parents be treated as if they were dumb and taken advantage of bc they did not speak english that well but they are actually smarter than a lot ppl (they speak 5 languages!) and basically built their lives over from the ground up. Seeing their struggles makes me stand up to bullies like that now and I appreciate the things i have more.

Teachers really don't understand how much of an influence they can have on their students.

My mom did this to me, every single thing that came out of me, she would either doubt it , cross check it to see if i have copied it or simply tell me i got lucky, She hated me so much all my childhood ( because i remind her so much of my dad who she hates so much) she always told me bad things about me. Like say things like that my DNA is from my father and he is an evil cruel, mean, unintelligent person and so I am also like him, and that I do not have a way out of this. She would say things like "you must be so jealous of your friends, they are so much prettier than you" . When i got my period and started gaining weight and developing breasts she would mock me for looking "lumpy" and "toady" and not skinny like my friends. The narrative that she kept building about me haunts me till this day. I try confronting her about it and she blames me for living in the past. But the thing is, that trauma is my present, it affects the way i think 24*7. She has cost me so many lost opportunities, i wish there was a way for me to make her understand just how horrible she has been.

I can't understand how the other teachers allowed Constance to be publicly humiliated like that and actually participated in the process! It's not something you do to any child! That's speaks of an incredible abuse of power and sheer bullying! Teachers who shame kids in any way, shape or form, should be fired! And then we wonder why some kids refuse to go to school or even end up dropping out, because of such traumatizing experiences! You go girl!! We got you!! 👊😊🖑

The description is amazing! "Questioning validity without evidence is risky. Public chastisement without evidence is entirely unnecessary. Assuming someone is less intelligent because they look and sound different.....well.... that's just evidence of your own ignorance."

I was accused of plagiarism in seventh grade English for my creative writing assignment. My teacher couldn’t prove it, of course, so she just marked down my work. At the end of the year, she even sent me to summer school. My writing is, and always has been, the one thing that made me feel competent in school, and she knocked me down. It stayed with me until 12th grade, when my AP Literature teacher said this: “I always have one student who hits their stride at the end of the year; this time, it’s you!” That will ALWAYS stay with me.

the way she explained the experience of second generation americans is so accurate... you really are protecting your parents. my parents had to lose everything in order for me to gain the privilege i have.

@2:27 this weird thing that happens with the kids of immigrants. In a strange way, sometimes you feel like you have to protect your parents. As a child of immigrants myself, I vouch for this. This was said so beautifully with such raw sincerity. I feel so much for Constance Wu and what she had to go through.

What you’re describing is called racism, and growing up in a similar part of Virginia to immigrant parents i completely understand that dichotomy of trying to protect your parents

I had a teacher like that too, in Grade three. She couldn't stand me and literally accused me of EVERYTHING that she claimed went wrong in that class. I went from being a straight A student to getting Ds. I was also sent home with notes for my parents almost daily! One week I had no notes so my dad asked me what happened and I told him my teacher was off on holidays for hannukah (or whatever jewish holiday it was). My dad realized the problem and went to the principal to demand I be moved to another class. The principal who was of the same persuasion as the teacher refused. My dad transferred me to another school right away and I went back to straight A report cards. My father took my next two report cards to the principal in my previous school and after the second time, the principal yelled at my dad and told him if he came back again, he'd call the police to charge him with trespassing. I think this girls teacher either had it out for her because of her ethnicity or maybe was jealous she was so beautiful. Sounds like her teacher was of the same ethnicity as mine. Parents NEED to speak up and get their children away from such vile teachers. I still think about that vile person, but trust that she had a miserable life and it will just get worse for her in the next life - much hotter so to speak.

she is so inspirational. Constance Wu is sassy and not all may like her attitude, but she is truly talented and she doesn't put up with crap. I think that is so cool. She's authentic and genuinely kind.

Constance is so well spoken! I love how she narrated the whole incident.

Constance has me shook with her wisdom and insight! As a child of immigrants I completely relate. What a terrible school experience. It's awful to fear the truth not being enough.

never underestimate insecure people's ability to power trip on middle school kids

I remember in high school I told the librarian I wanted to check out “Breakfast at Tiffany” and he told me it was too sophisticated for me. Now what kind of a jerk says that to a kid?

God I hope that teacher isn't still teaching! That is such an abusive person! And to children! Constance, if she is, please call her superiors and advise them of this abuse, so that no other child will have to suffer it. Much love to you.

I'm glad she went back to that shit of a teacher years later but I hope more that she went back to the drama teacher who beleive her, they are they one who need be acknowledged and thanked. Given her attitude and insight she has here I'm sure she did but its something we all need to keep in mind when we focus on the negatives we forget to see and embrace the positives for what or who they are.

'The truth sometimes isn't enough.' Wow, I really felt that. I fell out with some Asian Indian (I'm British Indian) friends when they accused me of something that I didn't do. I offered evidence that I didn't do it, but they still alienated me and refused to look at the evidence. I had made these new 'friends' and ended up going back to my old friends who were white British who didn't even care that I had moved away from them over the previous years. Sometimes the truth isn't enough when people are looking for an excuse for something. I really understood who my true friends were but the trauma of those friendships I know had a lot to do with my drug use after. I'm sober now btw. I learned a lot about race/identity over the years. For lots of immigrants, their identity is their ethnicity/religion/country but mine wasn't. I always felt they thought I was too white but I'm ok with that now. I'm just me.

Yep. This happened to me, too. It was 40 years ago, and the sting and hurt of that moment were branded into my memory. You never forget. Constance Wu's memory and pain were palpable and she predicted tears...still, so many years later. I feel bad for her, but am glad she's been able to prove them wrong.

Bilingual people are much more open minded!! And a threat to those who can’t see beyond borders

I'd love to know that teacher's response when she called her years later. Did she apologize ?

WOW, this is the first time I have heard someone else articulate a similar experience to the one I had in middle school. It took me a long time to cope with the feelings of inadequacy that stemmed from my teachers accusations, and the humiliation of having to on the spot rewrite my assignment in front of my entire class so that she could compare the two to determine if I had written the original. Unfortunately, this was not the only time that she went out of her way to insult or belittle myself and other students that were not on her list of favourites. She was just a mean spirited person who should not have been in such an influential position. I didn't tell my parent's either but God help me if anyone ever treats my future children like that.

I'm glad Constance was strong enough to share this

What she said about children of immigrants is 200% true. That was such an important thing to hear - in terms of shedding light on the not so obvious. Ugh I love her

My fifth grade teacher accused me of plagiarism too. I was so confused, sad, and angry.

Although not from a race standpoint, I relate to her trauma so much because in third grade (the grade in which they start teaching English in Israel) my English teacher told my mom I would never speak a word of English. This still weighs heavily in my heart, because although she thought I was dumb, by middle school I was placed into the highest level of English classes and by high school I took extra units in English (translation) on top of my regular classes. I now live in Australia and speak English on a daily basis and everyone is always so amazed at my English when they hear I'm from Israel and not somewhere in North America (as I speak without an accent)... I was so vulnerable in third grade, and she made me feel dumb (like many of my other teachers) because they didn't understand ADD, and now I still wish I could carry a full conversation in English with her to prove her wrong.

I had a teacher accuse me, too. She was also a loudmouth and covertly a racist.

Very insightful...glad she called the teacher years later and expressed her views!

"We have tissues." Lol!

She is so well-spoken and fluent. I cannot imagine going through this as a child, I too would be haunted for years after. I felt a physical piercing in my chest (not to be dramatic but that's what it felt like) when I was hearing her story because I can imagine being in that position and feeling so alone and scared. Blessings to you, Constance.

4:20 “You have to get out of the box of saying there is one normative standard.” 👁💖👁 Preach Wu!

This exact thing happened to me in the 6th grade... not the marching in front of all the other teachers part, but every other part of it.

As a former teacher as well as a student who has been accused of plagiarism I have been in both positions. The problem is that some students do plagiarize. As teacher it's important not to reward the theft of ideas that belong to others. That's what citing sources is for. That said, in the days before the Internet it was harder to prove. But the way Constance's teacher handled the situation was totally inappropriate. Some students write exceptionally well at a young age. Their style is sophisticated and sometimes it's hard to determine whether or not they have copied from others. Because I too was told that I couldn't be that good I made sure never to do that with my students. I spoke to them about the ideas in the paper and asked whether they'd forgotten citations for certain aspects. If they maintained that the ideas were theirs, I took their word for it. If they were lying, well, I'd rather mistakenly trust a student and be duped than humiliate a student. I'm glad she confronted the teacher in question later in life. Such messages that you're not good enough stick.

"Even though you physically are the center of your experience, that doesn't mean that there aren't other experiences that don't center you." Wow. Just wow.

That teacher was horrible. Doing that to a child. :(

I'm so very pleased she shared that _plagiarism story_ after all. Of course now I'm understandably curious about the teacher's reaction to her phone call years later.

I love her so much! She’s so brilliant. That teacher probably feels just as humiliated as she made Constance feel now that she has become so successful. Karma is amazing!

I had a similar experience with my 5th grade teacher who also happened to have been my older sister's 5th grade teacher. I knew Ms. Forshay was racist because my sister had so many discriminatory experiences with her, but I didn't know how bad she really was. So, one day in 5th grade during recess, I fell off the gym bars and hit my head hard on the side metal bar because my hand slipped while I was flipping. Ms. Forshay was on the field as a narc that day and must've seen me. I went to the nurse's office to ice the bump on my head. When I returned to the homeroom, she mocked me in front of the whole class jeeringly singing "Huh huh, looks like Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall! Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall~! Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall! HAHAHAHA" Then cajoled the students to laugh at me with her. In my head, I thought, "Why the f*ck would you sing this and who the hell is Humpty Dumpty?" She always graded me harder than any other student, even harder than other East Asian kids. When my sister had Forshay as a homeroom teacher 3 years prior, Forshay couldn't believe my sister's big, Western-looking eyes were natural, so she interrogated her: "How do you have big eyes like a white person?" Luckily, my dad remembered the accounts of her that my sister and I reported and when it came to my turn to have Forshay as a homeroom teacher, my dad cursed her out at the mid-year 1:1 parent-teacher meeting. My dad grilled her by laying out the offenses she committed before her and ended the meeting with "You're a dumb, fucking racist bitch. That's what you are." I'll never forget the look on Ms. Forshay's face: speechless and incredulous that my dad spoke perfect English with a hint of a UK accent (that's where he learned English) and for being put in her place. After that, she stopped harassing me. I was lucky, but countless other immigrant kids were not, as Constance's case proves. It's important to share our experiences as kids, as it may help immigrant kids today, who experience racism by teachers and administrators, to cope better.

Oh man. That just zinged my heart in a huge way.

Lets be 100% honest here. There are a lot of 22 and 23 year olds that become teachers not because they have a passion for teaching or want to help the generation behind them. alot of them become teachers because they can't find a job in the field they majored in. So you have parents handing over their kid to young adults that have not a care in the world about teaching and this is the result you get. A teacher traumatizing a child with their choice of words. I do believe teachers should be paid more but the process to becoming a teacher should be more complex.

Experiences in early life is so crucial to a person's development. If only more people would be more sensitive and empathetic.

Thank you Constance for sharing your story. It really made me reflect to a similar experience I faced in elementary. What I found particularly insightful in your truth was when your teacher, purposely, made you feel unimportant and unintelligent was not fair to you and your overall well-being but, looking at you now and how successful you are just goes to show that you are more that what that teacher accused you of. So many innocent children are faced with similar situations where it is not fair to them. Not all people can teach but, bless those one in a million teachers who show us kindness and believe in us.

Wow, I had a very similar experience in high school. Was traumatized over the whole ordeal and hated writing for the longest time after that. Teachers accusing and embarrassing a student like that can really affect their education and passion about a subject. Even going into the first year of college I hated writing essays because I was writing in fear that something similar would happen again even though I knew I wasn’t doing anything wrong. My parents also didn’t speak English fluently and had a heavy accent and I can relate with what Constance said about “protecting them” in a way and not letting them be worried. Thank you for sharing your story Constance.

My mum is very smart and can speak well, but she’s very shy. I still remember when my teacher told that my mum couldn’t speak italian and wasn’t smart, I couldn’t even talk back and I was in tears 😢

Her experience as an immigrant resonated with my so much, I don’t know why this video was in my recommended or why I clicked on it but it just made me realise somethings and dropped truth bombs I wasn’t ready for. People making fun of your terminology, teachers underestimating you especially with English. And protecting your parents from things they don’t understand. Just everything. Listening to this was so freaking overwhelming.

What an amazing interview. I'm glad she had the courage to call that teacher back and stand her ground.

I have had several moments like that. I still have moments when I replay it over and over in my head, wishing I had said something back to those teachers. Thank you, Constance for bringing up such a familiar topic that needs to be discussed.

Girl, I wish I could hug you tight. We believe you. We believe in your talent.

I really wish more Americans would get out of their “box” and travel. It opens the perspective. The teacher couldn’t believe Constance wrote the opening paragraph because in her mind she had already figured out her intelligence level, how well she wrote, her vocabulary etc. so when she read the term paper it just didn’t make sense. She “pre-judged” Constance, which left no room for the truth. What an ignorant teacher. And also, she was probably jealous.

I am a teacher myself now, but I cried so hard watching this, I have because it happened to me too! I had to live with my dad briefly in a very small town during the 7th grade and all the teachers disliked me. I loved to write and I wrote a paper on a book by Sonya Sones called “stop pretending”. My paper was so different from the other students’ that she accused me of plagiarism, I didn’t have a teacher to stick up for me or a parent who cared enough to get involved. She wasn’t able to prove that I plagiarized so the matter was eventually dropped, but it really strongly affected me. My sister, who I was devastated I couldn’t live with at the time, went to a Sonya Sones book signing and told her what happened to me, and Sonya signed a book with a special message for me to keep writing. It got me through so much during rough periods of my life, I had a lot of trouble trusting others with my work after that and especially with trusting myself. It’s one of the many reasons I became a teacher, so that no child would EVER have to feel like that on my watch. Thank you for talk about this Constance! I love your work so much, and now I feel connected to you in a really unexpected way! 💕

OMG! This interview is so golden. So many truth bombs! Thank you Constance, for speaking out on such topics.

I love her so much 💛💛... thank you so much for letting in and hear that story as a Chicana✊🏽 I SO get what you where talking about and I think it's important for us imigarant kids to hear stories like that so that we don't feel alone with all of the obstacles we have to go throw

She is so beautiful! Can't believe those teachers were so horrible to her when she was a child. How humiliating and painful that must have been to her and what a great person she was for protecting her parents! But she had the last laugh by gaining success!

Holey Smenoley!!! WOW - This is the story of life that needs to be on the evening news EVERY WHERE on earth! I am SO Sorry that Constance was exposed to and put through this trauma. Her explanation of this experience, her feelings, the love for and of her parents, herself, the different perspectives, protection of her parents - ALL OF IT!!! Sharing this truly is the stuff that can raise the human race's potential to be better through exposure, understanding, making changes for betterment and love. This should be a book, a movie, a lesson for ALL to learn from. Thank you for sharing.

Preach it Constance. Great interview.

I get that they don't want students to plagiarize but this isn't even the first time I've heard of something this crazy happening. When I was in high school a classmate of mine got in trouble for having the same idea as others in a paper he wrote. The topic? Slavery, and how it was bad. He had to write a whole new essay on how plagiarism is wrong and that he'll never do it again. I just wonder what the other 15 students in the same class wrote about if having the opinion that slavery is wrong is plagiarism?

OMG. This is just unbelievable... I don’t think i would ever recover from such a trauma.. my heart goes out to you sweetie. ❤️

I'm so proud of you for coming this far. Will go see "Hustlers" first thing next weekend!

ugh. Many teachers/counselors traumatize me... T.T Go Constance. Most honest spoken Asian Celeb

had a similar experience with 2 of my 5th grade teachers. it has a huge impact on you whether youre conscious of it or not. teachers hold such a moral responsibility and children should be told they are capable of everything and anything

Thank you for sharing your story. You spoke for all of us who had teachers shaming us for who we are. I had a teacher who made fun of me for getting a free school lunch card every week. He would call my name out loud and made me walk up to get my card while making snarky remarks. When I became a teacher, I told myself that I would never be that person.

Love her, so strong for telling this. I also love the interviewer, he is so calm and really shows he is genuinely interested♡

13 teachers who only speak loud American English disliked this video.

Sam is such a great interviewer. One of my favourites now to watch/listen to.

Your interviews are some of the best things I have seen in years. I wish you all the best In your success. And to Constance’s story I am touched, and I especially liked how it moved into such an awareness of the self. I too was told after winning the most outstanding boy at my Junior High that I didn’t deserve it by a teacher that wasn’t even my teacher. It devastated me and to this day I want to find this guy to say something back to him. The character Hawkeye from M.A.S.H. had a trauma from childhood that haunted him in Korea. When he realizes it he is amazed how a childhood experience could cripple him in the torrent of blood and guts from war. Our wounds are not always epic tales or physically evident; sometimes they are small and personal. This is why we must realize that each of us has a cross to bear. For a black youth it could be the real danger of a police stop. For a white youth it could be the indifference of parents that seem more interested in their social and work interactions than their family. We must acknowledge each other’s wounds and support each other through different path of healings. Go watch “Stand by Me” or “ Boys in the Hood”. Maybe then a racist cop before he steps on a neck will realize that many wounds may have brought him to this place.

This was so heartbreakingly real. She is so brave for speaking about this. I have a great deal of respect for her.

Wow I teared up. what that teacher did was terrible. And she is very well -spoken. I appreciate how she can effectively communicate her experiences (as traumatizing as it was). I struggle with that.

Well, this made me cry. Especially her protecting her parents.

This is so enlighting im so glad she shared her storie thats so sad

So well spoken and with such tenderness. Thank you Constance

This channel is wonderful, thanks for giving her space to share her story 💜💜💜

Wow what kind of crap teachers did she have? Im so sorry that happened. A teacher's job is to inspire and to teach of course. Hopefully those teachers lost their licenses but probably not. I had a geometry teacher who used to pull crap with students. He didn't have a clue how to do geometry but did he get in trouble? No he got promoted instead even though everyone taking his class was failing. Just wth? Teachers can be bullies too.

Wow... this one hit home. I was kicked out and demoted from my honors English class my sophomore year of high school for not “keeping up” with the rhetoric lessons and not understanding the literature. Forward years later, I earned my English: RHETORIC and Composition major from university, and I became a technical writer. Constance is amazing and I’m so glad she shared this story. I’m in tears because of how much I relate to her with the writing and her reference to being a first gen kid.

Growing up in an environment where teachers in my country don't really care about their students all that much and are just in it for an income really affected my studies. I was seen as the kid who didn't have much going for her and would probably end up in an entitled job working for her dad. I eventually did manage to get into university and BOY, was it such a different playing field because I met a professor who saw potential in my writing and work. He gave me words of encouragement that no teacher or my parents ever did and I blossomed! I'm now a senior in marketing and so many hire me just for my writing, and I can't thank him enough for the 3 years I spent in university and having this professor as my go-to for my work. Teachers play a much bigger role in a person's life than they realize. They are seen as the authority in our academic careers and one wrong move can deeply affect and change a person's view on themselves forever.

Similar stuff happened to me. Only found out recently its quite common for POC growing up

When I was in grade 7, my class was getting hepatitis B vaccines, and I have a tendency to faint from shots (though this was the first time that it happened to me so I didn't know then). So I passed out in the library in front of my whole class which was already embarrassing enough. Then at recess, the librarian asked if I was okay, to which I responded "yes". Then she said, kind of to herself but definitely intending for me to hear "What people do for attention". Fortunately, my friend who was there assured me she knew I didn't lose consciousness on purpose, but in grade 7 I had like no self-esteem and likely social anxiety, and I felt humiliated for a long long time after that. I would frequently remember this incident and worry that people thought I did it for attention. The worst part is that I loved that teacher before that point, her personality was similar to Constance's teacher, she was loud, cheerful, confident, funny and everybody loved her. It wasn't until many years later that I even realized what she said was completely out of line, that you should never say something like that to a child, even if you do think they're just trying to get attention, and that I wasn't the one at fault. I'm 27 now and I often consider trying to call her to tell her how hurtful what she said was to me, but I never have. Maybe one day I will.

this resonated with me a lot because i had a similar experience with my teacher. she pulled me aside and told me to fix how i speak (i used 'um' a lot) because "it was annoying" and i was doing it on purpose for attention, not knowing that i just had trouble framing my words. this was 3rd grade and im now a junior and it still impacted me, so listening to constance made me feel less alone and give me my power back

Thank you for sharing your story. Going through them and being who you are now inspires us in many ways.

Wow another really great interview. I love hearing her perspective.
