Much like my character Riley in Inside Out 2, I had my first panic attack at 13 years old. I remember feeling really embarrassed at the time. I thought something was wrong with me and was ashamed to talk about it. I was looking at my peers, thinking, was I the only one? Working on the film Inside Out 2 helped me realize that I wasn't alone and that it's okay to not always be okay! Mental Health is something that affects every one of us, and it does not discriminate. I realized our world was facing a mental health crisis, and I was determined to change the stigma. I started prioritizing my own mental health and wanted to make sure other teens had the same opportunities. I partnered with Girl Well, a non-profit organization founded by Kayli Joy Cooper that serves under-sheltered teenage girls by providing them with self-care kits that promote mental, physical, and emotional well-being.
