• The similarities and differences between emotional and physical scars
• Kiki shares the story of her traumatic experience (it’s important – trigger warning: fire sound effects) & honors her mother while sharing it
• How Kiki navigated being undocumented and traumatized to come out the other side using her ability to educate herself and honor her parents’ legacy and hard work (the definition of resilience)
• What it means to “come home to your body” after receiving physical trauma scars
• How you may react when watching news similar to traumas that you have been through and how to turn your mind towards helping, healing, and representation

• What community can do for you as a trauma survivor
• Two people who have changed Kiki’s life (and how to be more like them!)
• Advice for people who can’t seem to see the world as anything but unjust after facing extremely traumatic situations (hint: lean into the safe spaces)
• How to respond to people with physical scars (what to say and what not to say)
• A myth about scars that actually isn’t true a lot of the time
• Kiki’s Three Cs “Curiosity cultivates connection” (we love this!!)
