Growing up in gritty Echo Park, LA, in the 1980s, with parents in and out of the criminal justice system, and the neighborhood streets ruled by the Eighteenth Street gang, I could not see the possibility for the future beyond the world around me.
I never thought of going to college and didn’t even think I would finish high school.
But when I met my first Pushy Angel, an LA County judge in a youth program, she planted the seeds of a vision.
Many Pushy Angels have entered my life, each making me who I am today. I ended up finishing high school, my bachelors, and even achieving a masters degree in educational psychology. I now have the largest workers compensation counseling center in California. Ultimately, my vision continued to grow as more Pushy Angels showed me that I could be more!
Pushy Angels have radically transformed and empowered my life. Now it’s time to pass it along and push others to greatness.
