There are multiple instances where Genesis has displayed resilience, determination, and a strong commitment to her education. She began working at a retirement home when she was just 14 years old.

Just one year later, she successfully negotiated a pay increase and continued to serve this community she cared so much about. Genesis hopes to attend an historically black college and wants to become a physician.
