Akosua Scantlebury

She uplifts young people making them feel they can achieve and have self worth and has worked with in youth clubs since she was 16In the future I hope to inspire young people to reach for their goals and dreams through positive projects aimed at self-development. Hopefully my life will be seen as an example of how I managed to achieve success despite growing up on a council estate in East London where money was tight and the streets were ruff. It was the people who believed in me such as youth workers that helped me to positively push forward and I wish to do the same for other young people. My dream is to set up a charity that supports young people in inner cities to recognize their potential through workshops and short courses as well as provide funding to help support young people to access training and vocational courses.
