My passion for this work is deeply personal. Growing up, I was known in my local community as “the crying baby” because I was almost always in tears. Every morning on my way to school, I cried—carrying the deep pain of feeling unloved, unseen, and emotionally alone. Although my mother believed she was doing her best, I grew up feeling that nobody truly cared or was emotionally present for me. This emotional gap left me vulnerable, lost, and without direction.

Today, I know that many girls are still living this same reality—silently crying, confused, and exposed to harmful influences simply because they lack guidance, support, and someone willing to listen.
