A big part of my career involves volunteering for organizations and educating the local community on a stigmatized palliative therapy: cannabis. Stigmas are everywhere and it is our duty to prove to others we are kind and caring individuals working to help our community discover a new alternative treatment option.

I give money to people who ask for it on the street, whenever I can. I get everything the teachers ask for or need, when I'm able.

Why are you participating?

I'm definitely judged for labeling myself bisexual, especially by family. I'm married to a man so they say I'm straight. I'm so done arguing the definition of the word.

A lot of people come to me for advice and help with different things, and I try and guide and assist them as best I can. My family sometimes jokes that I should start charging, but if it's something I can easily do, I feel why not? Shouldn't we all?

Why are you participating?

I think it's a pretty cool project and dispelling the myths surrounding labels is probably one of the most important things we can do as a society.

I use my experience and struggles with anxiety disorder to fight against mental health stigma. It is really important that people going through these things do not feel alone - so I reach out on Anxiety forums to support, offer hope and guidance and advocate for good self-care.

Why are you participating?

I am an advocate for creative expression.

I work hard every day to just listen to people. Sometimes people just need someone to listen.

Why are you participating?

I wanted to participate because society tries to define us and it’s so easy to fall victim to it. It’s time to stand up for ourselves and stop listening to the negative things people have to say about us.
