She founded Solo Strong , a peer-led initiative offering free art therapy workshops and online forums for teens to share their emotions anonymously. Partnering with schools and nonprofits, the program has reached over 5,000 students across the U.S. “It’s not just about art,” she says. “It’s about giving people a safe space to be unapologetically themselves.” kerry marie solo teen
