I decided to join the team because I had spare time on my hands and I wanted to help the community out and this was a great way. I feel like my interest are aligned with the work of the team because you guys are researching the community and I’m apart of the community but I bring the ability to talk on past trauma. I feel like I’m a good fit to help reach the goal. I had a real good time helping with the research team, it kinda brought a lot of me which I liked because I’m really to myself a lot and don’t really speak about my past.
