Quidi-Ann King is no ordinary law graduate. If perseverance had a face, it would be hers. Despite growing up in one of the most volatile communities in Kingston, Jamaica and seeing her mother shot at age 6 she was determined to make it. At a very tender age, she made up her mind to plan, get an education, excel, and escape the environment she was born into. Her story is one of determination, self-belief and hard work. With her mom displaying the attitude of a strong, black woman, Quidi-Ann is the perfect example of the saying "we are not defined by our circumstances."
