Kathleen Yap moved to a new country as a young child and always felt like an outsider for being judged as “different” in how she looked, dressed, and spoke. The only sense of belonging she experienced was when she was outdoors in nature. Nature became her solace, where she could relax, be carefree, and be in harmony with herself.
The sense of connection and possibilities she learned through nature led her to want to share with others who feel different, to help them know that our uniqueness is not a flaw but a cause for celebration.
