From a young age, Briseyda has faced the complexities of life in the foster care system, having moved through seven different foster homes since she was just three years old.

In her spare moments, she finds joy in expressing herself through art. Drawing and creating not only allow her to explore her creativity but also bring a sense of peace and happiness into her life, even as she continues to navigate the obstacles that lie ahead.
