All, It'd be wonderful to be able to share these stories publicly in the future. I'm going to reach out to those who have already shared their experiences with me to confirm they're comfortable with sharing. If you're not comfortable with sharing your story, or want to withhold your name, please let me know in your email. Otherwise, we will consider them public, so we can build on your experiences and share them widely!
Thank you!
