I was born in Jamaica, life was good, I had no worries. When I moved to Canada at age 5, that’s when everything changed. As the years went on, I learned a lot about life and made a lot of mistakes. I have been through life and death situations, a lot of situations I wish I could have changed. Those situations and mishaps have made me who I am today. It has made my mind stronger. I now use my life to change others from making the same mistakes, but it takes mistakes for people to learn. I make sure to advocate that to the youth. I’m more involved in my community, I took all my life experiences and have been able to land successful jobs I never thought I could get. But one day I was involved in something I didn’t know how to get out, now and this is where my story ends.
