In the almost 6 years since then, Leidy is learning how to be both sister, and guardian, to her 2 siblings. She has reached a place where she is finally able to allow herself to grieve, and has a lot of wisdom to share.

Leidy talks about empowerHER, and organization that has supported her and her family. You can find more about empowerHER here: https://www.empoweringher.org/
