Renée has a law degree, a master's degree, and a PhD. 

She also was born into poverty. She was a single parent. She was abused. She was a college dropout. 

We see in her a world changer as much as we see her early disadvantages, and in that we are hopeful, we are even more resolved that regardless of a young person’s challenges, with the right kind of intervention, they truly can do anything
