It wasn’t until her 21st year that she began to formally sit down, compile some of the writings, and bring out the stories of her past. Her memoir is a book of five-year making. “At some point, I just had to stop obsessing, put it down, and say, ‘Okay, it’s finished.'” Emily is actively involved in frequent speaking engagements on the subject of Mental Health illnesses including radio interviews, at high schools and colleges, and to professionals in widely varying fields.voir moins
