FINDING MY VOICE
Before finding direction, my life felt chaotic and uncertain. I needed work but didn’t know where to start. Once I found a community and began working on myself, I knew change was possible. I developed skills in advocating for myself, my family, and my neighbors, and began to see I could be a true changemaker in my community. I got hired at the Small Business Administration and am on my way to homeownership, reclaiming a dream I had once given up: becoming a lawyer and lawmaker. I don’t take no for an answer.
