Vanessa Bautista

Hi my name is Vanessa Bautista and I was born and raised in Austin, Tx. I have struggled through poverty for most of my life, but I realize it isn’t an excuse to back down. I want to improve my life for the better by taking chances and making something great out of them. I want to show women of color that we can succeed and thrive no matter the obstacles that life throws at us. I am happy to create change in my community because I believe positive social change is what we need.
