Jarecki recounted her journey from being named Denny Lee Livingston to becoming Nancy Louise Frye, highlighting the role of her social worker and the significance of a bonnet she was allowed to keep. She emphasized the importance of support for young people in foster care and encouraged them to find their own "bonnet" in life.
