Finding solace in troublemaking, she often roamed the streets in search of excitement, briefly becoming a part of the rough crowd. Her life changed drastically at 18 when she was caught shoplifting while possessing marijuana, leading to a court-ordered probation that mandated community service at Ladies of Light.

Now 24, Stacia remains resolute in her mission to uplift others while navigating the complexities of her own past—a past she leverages to remind herself and those she serves that redemption and change are always possible.
