5. What does making a difference means to you? It means I get to see that this work is paying off. It does get tiring and draining but I get to see that people are recognizing it. Nothing that I’ve ever done has been to be recognized but it feels good to know that work is being acknowledged and not going unnoticed just the constant support that I get from my community drives me to keep it going because at times it gets hard to persist and ultimately, it’s for my people. Anyone is capable of this work and I want to be an example of that and help other people find their voice in that capacity. 6. What advice do you give to young people who want to do community work? Trust yourself and trust your heart it will lead you to do the right thing and never compromise yourself because there will be times when people want you to do that or want you to settle for less but go for what your goal was when you started and follow through. You will have the support you will have the people who will be there for you and one of those people will always be me. I think something that made me hesitant is that I would be alone, or I wouldn’t receive the support I needed It was a matter or trusting myself and believing that someone as young as me could accomplish big things.
