“It’s My Cross To Bear” explores the ideas of indoctrination, generational trauma, survival, isolation, self-discovery, and love. It follows me through different stages of my life, from a God-fearing, obedient child to an outcast, and from Self-Hate to Self-Actualization. Join me on the journey to liberation.
