On May 14, 2020, I began a novel project called “Nutshell Unplugged”, aimed at creating a story to give people hope against mental health battles.
At this time, I was having my own mental health breakthrough, realizing that I didn’t need to be afraid to express myself in any form. I just needed to know what I wanted and be direct.
My own individual circumstances have left me most of my life not knowing what I wanted, and with an inability to be direct. In real life, I went years without speaking. Even in this job, I would hang back in every room, every press conference, and feel in my head that no one wanted me to ever add my thoughts or opinions.
