Brave Beyond the Stage is This Is My Brave's 2021 initiative to check in with our Brave Alumni and see where they are today. We're having candid conversations to hear about their experience on the Brave stage and beyond. This Is My Brave would not exist if it wasn't for our Brave storytellers. We hope you enjoy this series!
