Meet Anna Hollaender
In middle school Anna Hollaender was named one of "Nestle's Very Best in Youth" in a nation-wide contest. People viewed her as upbeat and motivated. However Anna didn't have the perfect life. When she was 6 her father took his own life after struggling with depression. Her family dealt with it the best they could but never talked about it. After graduating from high school in suburban Florida, Anna attended the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, CA.
In her sophomore year Anna developed binge-eating disorder and depression as the illness controlled her mind and body. She struggled with seeking help fearing that what happened to her father would happen to her. Eventually she sought help and through therapy and relationships with friends she has recovered and leads a fulfilling life. Anna is a graduate of USC Annenberg School of Communications and has appeared in numerous TV commercials. Her presentation exemplifies mental health and the peace that comes from loving and accepting yourself just the way you are! |
