Amina, 17 years old, NJ
After experiencing the tragic loss of her older sister due to gang violence, Amina and her baby were removed from their home due to safety concerns and her parents' inability to provide proper supervision and maintain stable housing. After being placed in foster care, Amina began a journey of healing. Despite her circumstances, she continued her high school studies and, as a testament to her perseverance, graduated early with straight As. Amina balances work and caring for her 3 year old child. She has recently struggled with hair loss and other symptoms of anxiety and would like to start a regimen of self care by gong to the gym consistently.
