Kourtney Lehman – Behind the Dinosaur

This is Kourtney Lehman's 2020 retiring address as 2019-20 National FFA Secretary, titled "Behind the Dinosaur." Through the contrast of her goofy "Terrence" dinosaur persona and her hidden struggle as "crying Big Mac Girl," Lehman shares her personal battle with anxiety and the importance of addressing mental health rather than faking wellness. She encourages members to stop the stigma by being honest with themselves, letting trusted people in, and showing up to create community for others who are struggling.
