I know firsthand the impact of storytelling. I learned the value of my voice and how words have power when I was a foster child in Washington, D.C. I had a story to tell about my lived experiences, and although I had to share this story in court, it opened my understanding of the importance of advocacy. Sharing my narrative gave me agency as a speaker.

Each opportunity to communicate can lead to meaningful transformation. Every story can impact society, and I aim to clarify messages for social change.
