David Yi grew up in the only Korean family in his small town of Colorado Springs. From a very young age, he felt othered and knew that one day, he would spend his time celebrating and uplifting others.

Living by the mantra that you need to remember when you wished for what you have now, David proves that he has found his light and is helping others find theirs too.  LEAVE YOUR MARK listeners can try Good Light beauty product with a special buy one get one FREE offer by using ALIZA on goodlight.world.
