Joanna entered foster care as a toddler, and bounced around through more than 60 placements before she aged out as an adult. Even though her experience in foster care was very difficult, she looks back on those times as shaping her into the strong, independent woman she is today. Joanna is committed to fighting for the voiceless, donates her time to helping the homeless population in Matamoros, Mexico, and runs her own thrift shop.
