In this episode of Alt With Lella, I talk about the challenges and triumphs of standing up for what I believe in as a women’s rights activist. I faced a very expected but very dangerous backlash and personal attacks online, which resulted in my life being put under direct threat. I share why I'm embracing my truth unapologetically and why, through it all, I know that I am—and always will be—amazing.
