I Am Why

The system needs to change how it treats girls. Why? The answer lies in every story of every girl who has come forward to share what it was like to grow up inside foster care and the juvenile justice system. Sheila is why. Terry is why. Lucero is why. They are why it needs to change. They are why it is going to change. I Am Why expresses the stand they are taking. It says, I am here, I am worth it and I am fighting for a solution.
