Get Lit – We all have a number story

We all have a unique story. Yet we’re not alone. Nearly two-thirds of us have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).

 

We partnered with Get Lit, a Los Angeles-based arts education nonprofit, to give voice to five talented high school poets, introduced by celebrities they admire. In the videos below, they share original works about their experiences with childhood adversity.

 

Writing poetry is one way we can explore our own experiences. Hearing poetry helps us find connection through others’ words. No matter where you are right now, we hope one of these young poets’ stories resonates with you and helps you pause, take a deep breath, and reflect on the power of your story too.

Unfortunately, none of us are safe.

Deep Dive: My Top 9 Mental Health Tips

I’ve lived with bipolar disorder for the last 13 years. Though the initial years were brutal, once I understood my triggers and what it takes to stay well, I’ve been privileged to have stayed healthy for much of the last decade. This included — to my relief — my first pregnancy and post-partum period and serving in high-intensity public health roles through the pandemic, as California’s Acting Surgeon General and previously the office’s first Chief Health Officer.

Number Story Partnership With Vivian Nunez

I love music. Recently, I was listening to a random playlist Spotify generated for me when a song titled “Before I Have A Daughter” by Bre Kennedy started playing. Bre Kennedy sings about building a garden that grows on the same ground where tears have fallen and hearts have also been broken. Her goal is to learn to tend to this garden so that it flourishes on both the good and bad days.
