#TBT to when I was homeless and about 40 pounds heavier. I was asked to share my story as part of The Write Home Project. It got featured on the front page of Upworthy and amassed over 100k views in a day (the full video is on YouTube). I had people from all over the country sending me messages on how they resonated with my story and thanking me for sharing it. This video is now being shown in Master's programs at UCs and it's just like wow you never know who you're gonna touch when you share your truth. . . Thanks to natashahuey and gabrielmcortez for.asking me to a part of this and to jamiedewolf for making it come alive behind the camera! . . #kailalove #kailalovemusic #upworthy #throwback #homelessness #youthhomelessness #socialjustice #risingabove #perseverence #challenge #writehomeproject #poetry #story #truth
