Kenneth Hill Jr. was raised to see asking for help as weakness, taught to suck it up and handle problems alone. He came to understand that vulnerability is strength, and that sometimes you need to ask for help anyway.

Nobody ever told me that doing everything right would mean sometimes you should ask for help. I grew up in a generation where you just kind of sucked it up and dealt with it, or just did what you could and moved along because help was considered a weakness. But there's strength in vulnerability, and I had to learn that. So when I need help, I ask for it. I do what I can to figure it out on my own as much as I can, but sometimes I just need help. So don't be afraid to ask for it.
