“To me, belonging is when one can comfortably and fully express their unique self without being judged. It’s about not having to worry if you’re ‘good enough’ to be with someone or a group of people. Belonging shouldn’t ask for change, but rather encourage a person to be who they are. You shouldn’t have to give up your own self-acceptance in order to belong.” #LetsTalk
– Christine, 16, on a key theme of You Belong YYC
