What's Your Brand Story?

I know firsthand the power of storytelling. As a foster child, many people showed me that my story mattered. It prompted a change that shifted the entire trajectory of my life. And although there was a lot for me to learn - and unlearn - I am eternally thankful for a second chance after a childhood of abuse and neglect. Storytelling changes lives, and it starts with a heart for advocacy. What's your brand story?
