I strongly believe that nothing is too hard to accomplish. I think it’s about proving that it is possible. I know in my gut that there is a positive outcome to everything we do, it may not be right away, but when it happens, that is when change occurs and the impossibilities of it all, are proved wrong.
A bit about me:
I was quite a peculiar child and highly observant. While other kids were playing the horn and running track and field. I was working in the entertainment industry, illegally might I add, just to run food and drinks to cast and crew.
I remember the first producer that handed me twenty bucks. He told me to get some food. Then he booked me a hotel room and told me to stop sleeping in my car and to make sure I came back to work the next day.
When I graduated high school I had accrued six banker boxes of documents regarding my life in foster care. Social workers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, neighbors, and the police, they all had a file in there on me. It was black and white. All of the color and story had been taken out of my experience. I took the six banker boxes, my perspective, and my experiences and added the life back to them.

I can’t wait to share with you!
