Growing up in the tumultuous inner city of Maxfield Ave, Quidi- Ann has lived through the harsh reality of gun violence, Witnessing her mother getting shot when she was 6 years old and 13 years later, her own nephew falling victim when a stray bullet grazed him while asleep in their bedroom served as motivation that she had to find a way out of the inner city.
Quidi-Ann refused to let the traumatic experiences define her future and now credits her community for grooming her success. Despite facing financial challenges and the inability to pay her first year university fees, she refused to let her circumstances dictate her future and courageously attended classes armed with her mother's strong faith that "things will work out". She was awarded a scholarship but had to maintain a GPA of 3.0.
During her years at law school, she has won several scholarships which has enabled her to complete law school.
Today she stands proudly as an attorney at law and the first from her family to have a university education. Her journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and serves as inspiration to anyone facing challenges on their path to success, showing that with hard work anything is possible.
