About Bek

I’m Bek — a survivor, advocate, author, and connector. My journey has been anything but ordinary, and for a long time, I carried it alone. Through years of navigating systems that weren’t built with people like me in mind, I found my voice — and discovered that connection is the most powerful force for healing and change.

The Memoir: Misaligned

I’m writing a memoir called Misaligned, where I share the raw, honest truth about what it means to survive and rebuild when the world keeps telling you to stay quiet. It’s a story about misdiagnosis, misunderstanding, and the moments of clarity that come when you finally stop performing and start living.

The Connection Project

I’m also building The Connection Project, a developing nonprofit dedicated to peer support, community building, and creating spaces where people don’t just survive — they thrive. Because I believe everyone deserves access to the kind of support that meets them where they are.

The Work

As a student of sociology with a focus on human rights and constitutional law, I bring both lived experience and academic perspective to the work I do. Whether I’m writing, speaking, connecting people to resources, or building community from the ground up — everything I do comes back to one truth: no one should have to navigate this world alone.

If this resonates with you—if you’re thinking about trauma, recovery, agency, or how we build communities that actually hold survivors—I go deeper in my newsletter. Every week is something real: a reflection on the memoir, an insight from peer support work, a moment that shifted how I see things.

No spam. No sales. Just the conversation we’re starting here, taken further.
