It also brings about feelings of being alone, lack of acceptance, lowered levels of self-love. All of which, can stir up the rebel within.

In her debut book, Rebel in Venus, dancer, choreographer, and author Marissa Alma Nick brings to light the way to be yourself in a world hell bent on taking your personal worth away. Today we explore ways to let your rebel shine and never back down.
