As a kid, her father was sentenced to prison, leaving her family scambling to find stable housing. For years, they moved from one relative's house to another. At times, when no other options were available, they hopped between cheap hotel rooms and even slept in their car.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I know a lot of people are going through the same thing as me and probably even worse,\" Veronica said. \"That really motivated me to start doing what I do now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She found her calling as a community activist after a school counselor referred her to \u003ca href=\"https://rysecenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RYSE\u003c/a>, a local youth center. There she met other young people who had also overcome difficult experiences and were engaged in inspiring community projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veronica says she loves Richmond, but admits it has serious problems. The small industrial city across the bay from San Francisco has long struggled with high rates of poverty and violent crime.
