Representation is about sharing the unique characteristics and experiences of your life that help you relate to another. And sharing your story will bridge the gap between seeing someone you could be versus someone who forges the path from your similar beginnings. From your wildest dreams to traumatic events, you present all the possibilities others never thought possible; and your story will give them the courage to take their next steps in life. So represent by sharing your story to relate to someone, and if needed, be the first; so you can be the footprints for someone else to follow.
