I grew up in a place that made me realize early on the realities of what it's like to grow up not being rich financially but I was rich in a sense of being loved unconditionally, supported, and allowed to take on things I was passionate about. Not having everything early on meant I had to work hard and work smart with deep empathy and compassion for people whose background is the same as mine and that molded me hoilistically into the kind of person that I am today.
