Let's Sprout

This week on Glimmers, we meet Science Communicator, Ive. We dive deep into themes of belonging, values, and she recommends some amazing books that have helped shape her experiences.

"I've often felt like I belong in communities. I'm very extroverted, I love people. I always love being around people. And that's where I felt like I belong, it's been a challenge to feel belonging with myself, which sounds very deep. And I suppose it is. It's been challenging to feel confident in who I am, outside of others, because I am so excited about other people and communities. One thing that's been on my mind a lot lately is like belonging within myself, and like being true to myself." -Ive

Y'all, Ive takes out her note book and reads through her self reflection. We are HERE FOR IT.
