Our past experiences and circumstances shape who we are, but they don't have to define our future. What if you used your past to make a positive change in the lives of others today?
In a heartfelt conversation with Vanessa, I uncover the answer to that very question. Although Vanessa grew up in the foster care system, she still wanted to become a role model for her siblings. She achieved academic success that few in foster care can claim, obtaining a bachelor's degree. But she didn't stop there. Vanessa turned her focus to giving back. Determined to benefit foster youth, she's setting up a nonprofit offering therapeutic creative outlets to help them heal and grow.
Here's how a childhood in foster care gave Vanessa the drive and determination to help improve the lives of other foster kids.
