About the author
Hi I'm Portia Palmer, I was born in Baton Rouge, LA. People have labeled me for most of my life for example. Hyperactive, Frisky, ADHD, Loud, talkative, and a child that just can't sit still and that's just to name a few. I always knew I was different. I had the drive to do something with my life I used to be highly motivated with a purpose.
Thanks to God I am still here today. I'm still highly motivated but my process is different and I have a few more new labels added such as PTSD. I decided to use my experience to help the youths in my city so that none of them have to go through what I experienced. A major issue I noticed with most children with low-income parents, (apart from the obvious signs of malnutrition) is the lack of education and as a result, limited career choices. A lot of youths here have zero vocational training and are unemployable.
This is the major reason I decided to set up a nonprofit organization called Miss Portias Helping Hand For North Baton Rouge. My first mission is to feed those in need.
