As part of her nomination for this award, Kamira submitted a powerful essay telling her story. In the essay, Kamira writes, “If my voice could change anything, I would change the way people treat children who come from abusive, neglectful, and unstable homes. They suffer in silence, hoping someone notices. I want more awareness of the struggles of children in these homes, but also of those children in foster care. I strive to inspire people to reach out, support, and remind children and even those who have emancipated out of foster care that their life is worth living. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, and loved.”
