Stories And Testimonies From Our Youth

We Envision a World…
…in which all of our children are listened to, loved, and provided the teachings and tools needed to emerge from generational poverty and heartwrenching pain.

To see people being shot and killed in front of me, not one or two, it was many. I lost my mom at the age of twelve and my dad at nine. I did not feel like I was being loved. I was in and out of children facilities…

I just let it all out. I felt like all the weight was lifted off my back. Told myself, “Okay get back on track, go back to this 4.0, and be what you want to be.”
