As someone with bipolar disorder and social anxiety issues, this election has been extremely trying on my mental, emotional, and physical health. My heart marches with everyone around the world, but I know that self-care is needed to get me through this weekend. I am joining the virtual march to be present and supportive where I cannot physically be.
I am a bisexual Caucasian woman in my late 20s, who is very active in the LGBTQ+ community and has fought for gay/trans rights since coming out in college. I also believe in and support minority causes, and studied Asian/Asian-American Studies during my undergrad degree. I am one-half of an interracial marriage, and my multicultural family spans nearly every continent on the globe. I stand with BLM, Planned Parenthood, and our Muslim/Middle Eastern neighbours. I will never stop fighting for those I love.
