@GAEmpowerMEnt Part 2: Granted it came with a lot of internal reflection, difficult moments and tears. But in the end I found my way and what truly makes me happy. Today I am on track to building myself as an established Guatemalan-American Interior Designer. #GAEPC
@GAEmpowerMEnt Honestly, I am blessed to be where I am now. After I aged out, I fell into depression, dropped out of college, moved to LA and really found myself. It was there that I found my passion for Interior Design. Today, I am the lead designer for West Elm in Buckhead. #GAEPC
@GAEmpowerMEnt So I am using this time to put my health and diet back in check. I bought veggies and fruits to stabilize my diet. I'm also using this time to create a business plan for my Interior Design business. Creating visuals, website, cards etc.
@GAEmpowerMEnt Fortunately, my job was able to compensate a two week leave for me. In my case, there is fear knowing that I am not able to visit my dad in Guatemala because of his country's quarantine. It has brought a sense of anxiety. #GAEPC

I hope we can do better with aiding their emotional strength and helping with closure for those who are at risk for PTSD following care. Let's foster an enviroment of candid raw emotion followed with love and emotional support. Let's foster closure and strength.💙#GAEPC#GAECHAT

@GAEmpowerMEnt Emotional and Mental support. I was depressed and walked away from Syracuse. I resorted to couch surfing and smoking legal weed in LA for a few years before finding my way in my chosen career, spiritual centering and stability. #GAEPC#GAEChat

@GAEmpowerMEnt But also I didn't have the funds to focus on school alone and pay for my flights to go home in Atlanta for the breaks and holidays. A push to find better mental support and smarter ways to find financial support and stablity as well as scholarships would have aided my path.
@GAEmpowerMEnt I believe I was not emotionally supported to be strong when I went off to college. I was accepted to Syracuse but not knowing how to find help made me feel weak amongst White Priviliged youth. It isn't the race as much as the support that I didn't have.
