Like so many, Karena has experienced profound grief and trauma.

Though filled with this darkness, Karena was able to find deep joy. And with The Big Silence, she's creating a space for you to find that joy, too. Suffering in silence only reinforces the stigma behind mental health issues and builds boundaries that prevent healing.
