    Join me in welcoming special guest, Aryana Altaha "Teen social media sensation, best-selling author, and award-winning actor Aryana Altaha weaves her experience with mental illness into viral storytelling. Since age 15, Aryana accumulated a combined audience of 90,000+ supporters with millions of monthly views on her social media accounts, where she shares scientifically-proven advice to improve mental health & provides a safe space for others to be vulnerable. Additionally, she self-published her mental health poetry book “am i too broken?” at age 16. Throughout her poems, Aryana opens up about her struggles, how she used vulnerability & coping mechanisms to turn her agony into advocacy. She is one of the youngest speakers selected to speak at TEDxFolsom, is an author of the best-selling multiauthor book "The Gifts of Pain" volume 2, and is currently working on her third book! Through her publications, motivational talks, and advocacy Aryana educates others on mental illness, combats deeply-rooted stigmas, and shows others how to truly live instead of simply survive.
