10. To self-honour.
•
Only within the last few weeks, I’ve learnt that crying is much more than expressing emotion – it’s self-honouring. Dictionary definition of this term is “recognising the significance, importance, validity, and sacredness of your own values, thoughts, beliefs, desires, life, and self” – how beautiful is that? This is something…

9. Growing into the question of ‘what could I be.’
•
It’s one thing to grow up, and another thing to grow into yourself. I saw living proof of this in Lena, Vianne and Dee, who travelled from across the globe to follow their hearts and create something beautiful – their song Changing Clocks was released in April this year. I…

3. GEORGIA, 20, CURLY HAIR
•
Last week, I was forced to reflect on my identity and who I am – two things which had always been somewhat separate. I was forced to uncover how I really feel about my mixed-race heritage; spoiler – I feel great, and you should too. Being mixed-race was a huge…
