Esther Laiacona: Rising Above Adversity to Champion Social Justice
“I had to take the emotion out of it and that is so hard to do. No, I had to, because it was the only way I could show up like a boss and really advocate for myself and be very clear and articulate, because up to that point my anxiety was so high, my mental health was so turned upside down from this whole thing, from the rapes all the way to that.”

Esther Laiacona, the CEO of Dream Believe Become and DBB Global, shares her gripping story of overcoming childhood neglect, sexual assault, and economic hardship.
