Layla, 17 years old, OR

Layla entered foster care at twelve after running away from home. Her life before was unstable, but she's learned to navigate the system. She is now focused on her future and determined to move past her past experiences. She lives in a foster home and is slowly opening up to a few supportive people. Layla dreams of becoming a tattoo artist because drawing has always helped her express herself. She wants to use tattooing to tell stories and promote healing and empowerment.
