Jada, 17 years old, CT
Jada's journey through foster care has been one of learning to trust herself and others again while building boundaries that protect her peace. She's a strong, independent young woman who's discovering that accepting comfort and care doesn't make her weak. At her residential program, Jada is known for her protective instincts toward younger girls and her emerging leadership skills. She's working on allowing herself to be cared for, not just always being the caretaker, and understanding that vulnerability is actually courage. What makes Jada special is her willingness to challenge her own defenses and explore what it means to be both powerful and tender, and her dream is to build a life where she can be fully herself, strong when needed, soft when safe, and always deserving of love and comfort.
