I have bipolar disorder, autism, fetal alcohol syndrome, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder).

In 2003, I was taken from my parents, and my grandma gained custody of me and my two brothers. I was diagnosed with ADHD at age six and have been going to therapy ever since. My dad died when I was nine which made me spiral into a depression for many years. I even started self-harming in middle school. Luckily, I had people to support me, and I sought help. I haven’t self-harmed in six years now.

I love art because it helps me express myself through my creativity. I usually like to draw. I’m not much of a painter. I like to do manga art. Manga is the Japanese comic book style. I also like to draw video games from time to time. Drawing helps me create a safe space – a world where only paper and pencil exist. That’s why I like drawing and creating art.
