I have immense gratitude for the opportunity to be a part of Tina Torres writing program and collaboration book, “Be A Glowstick Girl.” Being a part of this transformative journey, alongside a group of extraordinary individuals, has truly been life-changing. This work not only celebrates personal growth and vulnerability but also provides a platform for each contributing author to share their voice with the world. The writing program offered to the authors was designed to foster development, encouraging us to dig deep within ourselves, tap into our vulnerabilities, and find strength in our stories. The program facilitated an environment where we could explore our truths with honesty and introspection, ultimately shaping our chapters into powerful narratives that would resonate with readers from all walks of life. Reading the final compilation of our stories, I am struck by the profound impact they hold. Every page resonates with the bravery of our shared experiences, our triumphs, and our personal revelations. The voices within this book have the potential to ignite a spark of transformation, to inspire others to embrace their own truth, and to find peace in the knowledge that they are not alone in their struggles. Moreover, the writing program offered as part of this collaboration empowered authors to hone their craft, discover their unique voices, and step into their power as storytellers. Today, as this book finds its way into the hands of readers, I feel an overwhelming sense of fulfillment and pride. My own personal growth and healing journey have been magnified by the collective force of the stories of my fellow authors. I am grateful to have been a part of this collaborative effort, one that has not only allowed me to share my voice but has also given me the privilege of witnessing the transformative power of storytelling. Through the power of our united voices, we can change lives and instigate a profound shift in the way we view our own stories.
