Meet our April Scarlight Anita L. from Albuquerque, New Mexico! I met Anita in my Scars to Confidence Facebook Group, and she has been an amazing soul to be acquainted with! In the group, she posts empowering and inspiring content and is always there to cheer others’ on. Anita was also a panelist for Scar Power’s Valentine’s Day Special Edition Scar Talk where we discussed emotional and love scars. It was an absolutely amazing event, so please watch the replay if you haven’t seen it!
I am so excited to have Anita as Scar Power’s April Scarlight! Below is her story and responses in her own words.
