Aside from helping my family and friends whenever possible and however I can, I've done a decent amount of work for various animal rights groups, and I also donate 20% of my income to charity. Sorry, I know it's supposed to be one, but I have a tendency to get carried away with things...
It's not often that I get to participate with things like this and I love being involved!
Talked three people out of suicide in the past year and a half.
I empower women and girls to direct their own lives.
