With goals to become be appointed as a Judge under the court of family division and publishing her book about her lived experiences.

Youth in care go through trauma that strikes their outlook on life therefore damaging their voice. But, This young woman is dedicated to sharing her experiences in the system to support her peers and create systemic change.

Another powerful voice during. A woman I admire for her exuberance, resilience,and ambition. A woman whose doesn’t let her previous conditions define her conclusion. A woman who turns her pain into a message for all to learn.
