Meet Lorward Choi
Survivor. Optimist. Brother.
In this: Part 2 of his interview, Lorward discusses the challenges he faced, sometimes on a daily basis when it all felt really hard. How not giving up could happen in small ways as a survivor, and that even one small action, like making his bed, could be considered a win, especially on those difficult days. Just to recap on Part 1, in case you missed it: Lorward was groomed and abused in his first year at college by someone who was considered a friend. This person was three years older and over several years repeatedly manipulated, groomed and abused him. You can reach out to him on email at lorwardchoi@gmail.com
