This quote reflects Zoe’s belief that every child deserves to be celebrated for who they truly are. She embraces this spirit of individuality and encourages every child and youth she works with to recognize their unique strengths and the resilience they’ve built through their experiences — empowering them to build confidence and inner strength along the way.
