MEET AALIYAH,

Aaliyah used to think the only way people would listen was by using her fists. She got into fights at school, had trouble at home, and felt full of anger. She didn’t know how to break the cycle.

But then, she started working on herself. With help from a mentor and learning how to handle her emotions, Aaliyah found out that real strength isn’t about fighting—it’s about using your words, staying calm, and making smart choices.

Now, Aaliyah speaks up instead of fighting—and she wants to help others do the same.
