Being Different can be a Nightmare, but I Choose to be Kind and Authentic. A Journey for a Daughter of Immigrants and the First One Coming out w/Annabella Da Encarnacao
Pride month is here. Would you create a “pride life”? Honoring LGBTQ, honoring love, honoring mutual understanding and being true to oneself is not limited in one month. Would you choose to stay true to yourself even when it means you would be different from many people?
Annabella is a CMO (Chief Marketing Officer) who started her coaching business to support people to be authentic. Looking back, she finds being different to be very helpful for her work and her life now. However, when little Annabella did not feel “fully-French”, when she pushed down all her feelings, when she felt her identity was wrong, and when some family members and friends could not embrace the “real you,” it was no fun.
And yet, she is now a proud gay. Someone in college opened a door for her. She does the same to many others. Annabella told everyone who once felt you are different from others “You are not alone. Be kind to others and yourself.”
