“That first weekend was a reminder that none of us should be defined by our worst moment or any moment. All our moments create new opportunities for learning and healing.That weekend and every weekend since has been an opportunity for growth and reflection. It’s all in service to humanity. One person grows, we all grow.”

That first weekend was a reminder that none of us should be defined by our worst moment or any moment. All our moments create new opportunities for learning and healing. That weekend and every weekend since has been an opportunity for growth and reflection. It’s all in service to humanity. One person grows, we all grow.” Fran’s dedication to personal growth, inclusion, and social impact make her a valuable member of The Freedom to Choose Project’s team, and we are proud to have her shine her light with ours.
