My spirit is lifted when I am feeling healthy, when I am surrounded by good people.”

“I reach out to my family and to my friends even in this time of quarantine. I fought to continue to find a way to stay connected to the people in my life who bring me joy, my girlfriends, my husband, my kids,” she said.
