Awareness, SEASON FINALE
Father shares late daughters story and remind us the importance of our mental health.
We pass people everyday on the street, in our neighborhood and at work. The reality is, if we do not know that person, we have NO IDEA on what is happening in their life. What their day has been like or their history. The emotions that weave them together are a mystery.
Today’s show on Awareness is just that, a look into strangers lives. Ones that reminds us that every person has a very unique story that has brought them to their power today. Get ready to for a dose of empathy and understanding. We are bringing you this topic from the clouds (The Willis Tower). A perspective where you see a city as a whole, however when you zoom in your realize the stories and people that make the big picture.
