Alisha is currently attending Laney Community College and majoring in nursing. She plans to transfer to Northwestern University in Chicago. If she could change anything about growing up as a young woman, she would ask that there were more programs that she could relate to like an all girls group, and just for someone to show that they cared about what young women are going through. She is currently on the Young Adult Team and hopes to continue her work as a youth advocate.
