By sharing her candid personal story about how she discovered her true identity, she invites others to break free of who they think they have to be, reject the worldly pressures to fit in or be perfect, open themselves to receive breathtaking love and acceptance from their Creator, and walk confidently in their God-given beauty, identity, and purpose.
