My friend Sabrina Wrote this

“Thank you Capital Content
To my friends Dylan Holton & Robin Ferrie – for your authenticity and bravery – being apart of this. 

My hope is this can connect others to a deeper understanding that it does not matter who you are mental health effects everyone and if we can collectively come together as a community we can remove the stigma one step at a time. ” ~SabriNa ©2021
