Sarah, 27 years old, NY

By age 17, she returned to her mother's care and started focusing on school, work and the journey of her life. Now she is a current student at Hostos Community College striving to obtain her degree in Nursing. Sarah works at a charter school that serves scholars in kindergarten through fifth grade. She is a leader on CASA-NYC’s Youth Advisory Board. Sarah is passionate about becoming a midwife and being part of women's birth story.
