"The word 'PerSona' (person) comes from the Latin 'per,' meaning through, and 'sona,' meaning sound.

In ancient Greek and Roman theaters, actors would wear masks 🎭, called personas, to amplify their voices and portray different characters.

So, 'persona' literally means 'through sound' or 'through the mask.'
We all wear masks, or personas, in our lives, adapting to different roles and situations.
But beneath these masks lies our true self, the essence that transcends the roles we play.

But just as an actor can remove their mask at the end of the performance, so too can we peel away our personas to reveal the authentic self that lies beneath. It is through this process of SELF-DISCOVERY that we come to understand the true nature of our being, beyond the roles we play and the 🎭s we wear."
