![Going through trauma can make a person feel broken (yesterday’s post). 💔 Even when work and therapy has been done, mental health issues derived from trauma 🤕 can mark a person 🙋🏽♀️ with less than desirable labels 🏷️ even by people who hold positions of power or authority can leave one feeling like a social pariah. That should not be the case. Trauma should not define you. I am going to keep working creatively to learn how to be a voice 🎤for the stigma of mental health and consequences of trauma. #mentalhealth #foreverbroken #hopeonthestreet @stanforcreators #StanDareToPost day 4 ARTWORK 🖼️ by a fellow pariah, used, with edits, within license agreement: “tommy THE pariah @ modern monster” by tommy the pariah[away] is licensed under CC BY 2.0.

![In reflection, what Bad Bunny brings to global community is HOPE. Hope for solidarity in a political, polarized world. Whether his music resonates or not, the message is loud and clear: hope is alive in the streets.
The song in this post, though less “pop”, it resonates well to the message that was left reverberating through the emotions of people globally 🎼 🎶
Sing, my people, I’ll light up a candle
With Christ looking at all the shanties, yeah
The street dances it (Sing, my people)
The street dances it (Sing, my people)
The street dances it (Sing, my people). #bunnybowl #badbunnysuperbowl #superbowl2026 #hope #thestreets [Photo used with edits under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International license <https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/> © Glenn Francis, www.PacificProDigital.com]](https://scontent-sea5-1.cdninstagram.com/v/t51.82787-15/631678007_18033891743783875_2213678429288129040_n.jpg?stp=dst-jpg_e35_tt6&_nc_cat=109&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=18de74&efg=eyJlZmdfdGFnIjoiQ0FST1VTRUxfSVRFTS5iZXN0X2ltYWdlX3VybGdlbi5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=yj5FkvJ5bTYQ7kNvwHgIme3&_nc_oc=AdpigD4FgCy5T84mEOKA2ir9vldKLnBmOP2BVWX-SLe7C9Re_cchAv4ToegWwXIfxqg&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-sea5-1.cdninstagram.com&edm=ANo9K5cEAAAA&_nc_gid=Q3SCJdqZnq3LVJkLGWy4_Q&_nc_tpa=Q5bMBQGSWyCA__SOZYfejgv8rG8u6RDDl66vjI0VvwAirY02Ne-8T1LqkW2UZsac51DWe1bWd_56gctj&oh=00_Af0ody4nLcG1k4gP_27K-_ifHN7P9--kDguEuH0SlcDDHQ&oe=69EA849F)
