My journey of faith began in childhood and took a more profound shape in high school. Growing up in a diverse environment, I was blessed to be surrounded by family and friends from different faiths. This exposure helped me understand the beauty of my own faith while appreciating the spiritual journeys of others. This stage of my life was when the roots of my faith took a firm hold, creating a foundation that has guided me through the complexities of life. The faith I inherited morphed into a conviction that was distinctly my own, born from personal exploration and understanding.
