Good Morning America Thriver Thursday - Daniella Carter - 2020
Daniella grew up in foster care until she decided to leave at age 14 when her foster family wouldn't accept her gender identity as well as to escape the abuse and trauma she was experiencing at home. Due to the lack of resources for trans youth in the foster system, she was forced to live in the subways and engage in survival sex work. Despite this, she still went to school each day since she knew an education would give her choices and freedom. Today she is thriving and using her story to inspire and uplift others in her community.
