Rise Above
Defying the stigma that surrounds mental health and survivors of trauma, Brittany, a 17 year-old from New York City, shares her story of healing and self-discovery. In taking control of her own narrative, she is advocating for all women and defining her own identity.
"Rise Above" is an Oculus VR for Good project in conjunction with Womankind (formerly New York Asian Women's Center)
