Advocacy
I have always lived on this notion: "When life presents the why you no longer have to worry about the how"- Darius Pettway
I am thrilled to have you here as part of my journey to advocate for two causes that are close to my heart: Juvenile Justice Reform and Breast Cancer Awareness. These two core areas of support represent my relentless commitment to making a positive impact on the people I encounter on a day-to-day basis while being a voice for the voiceless.
With your support, I can continue to passionately advocate for juvenile justice reform and breast cancer awareness. Thank you for joining me in these critical efforts your support truly makes a difference!"
Juvenile Justice Reform Advocacy:
As a passionate advocate for juvenile justice reform, I firmly believe in the power of rehabilitation and second chances for young individuals within the justice system. I strive to raise awareness about the importance of addressing root causes, providing support systems, and creating pathways to brighter futures for our youth. By supporting my efforts, you are joining a movement dedicated to creating a more equitable and compassionate approach to juvenile justice, ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to discover who they are and find their “why” in life.
The Significance of Juvenile Justice Reform
Juvenile Justice Reform Juvenile justice reform focuses on transforming the lives of young people by providing the support, guidance, life skills, and resources needed to overcome challenges and build meaningful futures. This work is rooted in recognizing potential, addressing areas of growth, strengthening existing strengths, and ensuring youth are treated with dignity and respect while being held accountable. True reform is not just about changing policies, it is about changing lives.
Spreading Awareness
To symbolize this work, I created a custom gold Juvenile Justice icon called The Fight of Gold. Gold was chosen intentionally. It represents achievement, growth, and an optimistic future. More importantly, it reflects the untapped potential of the youth we advocate for and the responsibility we share to create systems of opportunity rather than systems of exclusion. The Fight of Gold serves as a reminder that reform requires leadership, consistency, and action.
Walking Commitment
Advocacy is not just something we talk about it is something we live. By incorporating this symbol into my daily attire through hats, lapel pins, and jackets, I choose to visibly represent my commitment to justice reform and belief in second chances. It is a personal reminder that meaningful change happens when values are practiced, not just spoken. This symbol represents accountability, opportunity, and the belief that with the right structure and support, young people can thrive and positively contribute to their communities.

Breast Cancer Awareness Advocacy:
In my commitment to breast cancer awareness, I stand alongside those impacted by this disease, whether directly or indirectly. I aim to spread knowledge about prevention, early detection, and the importance of support networks for individuals and families facing breast cancer. Your support means being a part of a community dedicated to raising awareness, funding research for better treatments, and providing hope to those in their fight against breast cancer. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of many.
