"I love the Jane and Finch community because this was my first community where I started to build my foundation after a life on the streets as a youth due to a major family breakdown. The Jane and Finch community has housed the first years of my son's life and will offer me fond memories as I start to lay the bricks of my future on my personal journey as a student, mother, employee and active community member and advocate.
Many people have their own negative stereotypes of the Jane and Finch community however what I see is a community that has a make-up of so many individuals from vast parts of the globe. Individuals who have seen nothing but hardship like another community but still try to prevail and hope for the best for the next generation to come."
