“When I was in the shelter with my mom, I was a baby” she shared with Radio One. “ I don’t remember too much of the experience but the pictures that she has I can still feel it. I can feel that my mom went through a lotta of struggles to get where we are right now. What I would say to kids in the shelter is don’t give up. It may be hard but you can win. Grow and don’t be afraid to grow.”
