Early Life

Ava’s early life was spent in poor rural Jamaica. At times she was unable to attend school, because of the need to work for food instead. Her inner strength carried her through adolescence when she experienced incest and sexual abuse. As a young adult, she was held at gunpoint, which led her to escape from Jamaica in order to protect her mental health. Instead of giving up under the harsh and disappointing experiences, she called upon her resilience and love for her native country in order to become a strong and self-reliant woman. She has been a powerful voice in helping others in our society to break the cycle of poverty and its effects.

It is natural and normal; we are made to experience life through a series of refining moments, until we reach our desired goals. Failure is just an indicator that we are not there yet.
