## Caption

The term "failure" is often perceived as harsh, something unforgiving, to be evaded. Like many, I used to tuck away many failure stories, letting them be overshadowed by the feelings of shame, embarrassment, self-doubt, and fear they brought along. 💭There was a phase in my life when failure was not an option - a single setback could create a ripple effect, impacting those close to me.

These days, to stay connected with my purpose, I devote a portion of my time to mentor fellow designers and creators. Mentoring has revealed itself to be a gift, one that allowed me to unbox more than just success stories and tracking growth. 🎁 🪴 In many ways, it has opened up a platform to share the hidden tales of failure. 🔑🚪

The ability to stumble, to falter, and to learn from it, turns out to be both a privilege and a gift at certain points in our lives. I’m hoping through my mentoring journey, I continue to shape a space - for myself and others - where it's safe to trip and fall. 🙏💚
