What are your advocacy and your plan for it? 

My love for my children made me an advocate in helping those who are sick with rare diseases and cancer. Kids are supposed to be playing and not suffering.

Lastly, having been a survivor of violence, I would like to empower women to do the same. We are strong where we should not let ourselves get exploited by anyone. I know it is not easy, it’s terrifying, but it is doable. You are not alone people will always be there to help.
