Strength Based Community Change (SBCC)

Michelle entered the foster care system at a young age, where she developed resilience, independence, and a strong sense of self. Despite facing numerous challenges, she has consistently found ways to create joy and comfort in her life. Currently, Michelle is focused on her work, dedicating herself to building stability and a brighter future. In her downtime, she enjoys painting, which allows her to relax, reflect, and express her creativity. Her cat is a constant source of warmth and laughter, helping to brighten her days. Additionally, Michelle loves to escape into movies, whether it's the excitement of a new release or the nostalgia of a classic. A kindhearted and thoughtful person, she finds beauty in small everyday moments as she balances responsibility with her passions.

Michelle dreams of having a compact vanity table with an LED mirror, envisioning it as her personal haven to immerse herself in her passion for makeup and creativity. Makeup has always been a source of joy for her—a fun and relaxing outlet that allows her to experiment with new looks, express herself, and build confidence by trying something different. A dedicated vanity would transform this experience, making it not only more comfortable but also more special. It would give her a sense of ownership and happiness in her daily routine. The LED mirror would enable her to see the finer details of her work, enhancing her practice and skill while adding joy to the process. Moreover, the compact design paired with a hidden stool is particularly meaningful, as it perfectly suits her space while blending style and functionality. For Michelle, this vanity would be much more than just furniture; it would be a sanctuary for self-expression, creativity, and a touch of daily happiness she can truly call her own.
