We are the future of this forever.
These past couple of days have been nothing short of amazing. I have met some great people, I have heard GEAR UP stories that are so inspiring and empowering. So I just want to first start by thanking each and every one of the GUALA leaders for their ability to share such personal stories and also being able to express them almost on spot. It is definitely a good feeling to be surrounded by 29 other people that understand struggle and perseverance. I often felt like I was the only one who ever faced adversity but here at GUALA I feel like everyone is so understanding and welcoming! Telling my own personal story definitely is one thing that I am struggling with the most this week but I am sure with the more trainings, workshops and getting more comfortable it will soon flow with confidence. I am so inspired and excited to better myself as a leader and a speaker with "the future of this forever" as Mr. Nathan R. Monell would say.

Brooke, this is one of my favorite quotes to inspire me when I struggle with speaking out on behalf of my cause...
