Welcome to another episode of Through Help & Back, in this episode we sit down with Cassandra Wilson, a resilient individual whose journey is a testament to the complexities of identity and self-discovery. Growing up as the only Latina in a predominantly white community, Cassandra grappled with the pressure to conform to societal standards of beauty and success. Her early struggles with an eating disorder were a manifestation of her longing to be seen and acknowledged in a world that often overlooked her. Yet, through these challenges, Cassandra found solace in academia and the pursuit of knowledge. With a passion for psychology and a desire to make a difference, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Join us as Cassandra shares her story of resilience, growth, and the power of reclaiming one's identity in the face of adversity.
