Karen Martin has been like a second mother to me the past 9 years. My grandmother and aunts have been amazing role models who taught me my worth is more than just a pretty face and how to stand up for injustice even if I don't directly benefit from doing so.
Both of my amazing grandmothers have been huge influences in my life. Both are strong-willed, intelligent, and never afraid to speak their minds. They have helped shaped me into the person I am today! 💕
