Emily, 17 years old, CA

Emily has spent much of her life navigating the ups and downs of foster care, learning early on how to fend for herself and stand strong no matter what life throws her way. Independent, resourceful, and tough as nails, she’s never been one to ask for help. Emily has ambitions to go to cosmetology school, as it brings her joy to make others feel good.
