I'm a mother who carries the weight of dreams, a daughter of resilience , a woman who beams through struggling hardship, I forged my way, Building a life for my family day by day.

With the heart of love and headstrong with skill, I work to create, to fix, to build From the classroom to the job site, I've learned to persist, Now I see challenges as opportunities to grow, to rise up and let my strength show.

My union has shaped me. Its strength like a tree. Because the roots run deep, in the work that's free For those who have walked a hard road before, I extend my hand for together we soar. In this union, we're part of something grand, Fighting for freedom hand in hand.

From foster to now, with a career so bright, I've turned my struggles into pure sunlight. I will rise, I'll lead, I will guide and fight for my family, for my union, I'll channel the might. Like a conductor giving power and light to the future so bright.

This is me, a mosaic of dreams and strife, Crafting my purpose, and carving my life.
