From homeowner and family of 7 to devastations of disabilities, homelessness and getting stuck in the cycle of poverty she takes us on her journey with candid truth and hope for solutions.

Are the multi millions of dollars that are advertised for housing really available for anyone? Why must we fit inside a box of check marks to gain housing when it is a basic human right no matter what checks are marked? The system is broken and smoldering with inconsistency and oppression but we know resilience is possible if we can all work together for the good of each other, of our communities and for the nation.
