Essex, 21 years old, NY | 16 DAYS WAITING |

Heartshare St Vincent

Essex was once forced to deny her LGBTQ+ identity by her cultural family, but she has since embraced who she truly is. Now, she is on a journey to fully discover and understand herself. Studying psychology at Essex, she aims to deepen her understanding of identity and mental health, using her experiences to help others navigate similar challenges. Her courage to accept herself marks a new beginning as she works toward personal growth and acceptance.

For Christmas, Essex would like a North Face jacket to provide warmth, comfort, and a sense of security as she navigates her busy days. Beyond its practical use, having a jacket she loves could also boost her confidence and offer a small but meaningful way to care for herself.
