After being torn down and told by multiple people that she wasn’t good enough to succeed, Mila DeChant decided to flip the narrative and reclaim her own identity.
Taking back her voice from the people who tried to keep her down, she realized the importance of having support and wants to preach to others that lifting each other up is a meaningful and worthwhile feeling that doesn’t cost a thing. Knowing what it’s like to face adversity without an ally, DeChant encourages others to focus on life with an extended lens and consider what other people are going through, because often times everyone is experiencing something important that can resonate with someone else.
Going through life with the mindset that whoever crosses your path can impact your character in some way or another, she wants to show everyone that there is no reason to “dim anyone’s light” nor have your own light dimmed, and that even the smallest act of kindness can lift someone up.
