Part 1 from hours spent watching Tik Toks to interacting with the GRLs of GRL Collective to discussing getting tattoos at home I chat with Kristine Rodriguez of GRL Collective. That after testifying against her abuser who was her then stepfather Kristen felt she needed to go on her own journey to reconnect with herself. That in a self-love came a brand and philosophy of GRLs supporting other GRLs. That a relationship with those closest to her lead to this journey of building relationships with people from all around the world. Stepping away sometimes can be the hardest thing to do but also be the most rewarding.
