And this opens the door for them to share all of themselves with us too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/596492552?embedded=true&amp;source=vimeo_logo&amp;owner=3970968\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/596492552?embedded=true&amp;source=vimeo_logo&amp;owner=3970968\">Click here for the whole story&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What defines you?
