“Jenni Steele has a vision on how a community should support each other. The biggest experience for me was seeing how impactful being a young role model is to my community. I really enjoyed speaking on my journey. I was able to share with the kids real life’s truths. Life isn’t easy but you have to keep going. Congratulations on your tour Jenni. Long may it continue.”
