My name is Kirah Horne. I am 20 years old and I’m from Auburn, WA.

A note from the Host: 

As someone who was personally impacted by bullying, I believe that we have to have an ongoing dialogue about it and also share stories of hope with those that need to hear them most. I am hoping to manifest never-ending kindness. 

Remember to stay strong, always focus on the light, and choose kindness forever and always. I can't wait to hear from you!
