Meet The Queen Of Green
Victoria, like other Inner-City kids, was subject to encompassing profiling of low expectations, which seemed to gain credence with her initial struggle to pass through high school successfully.
With a G.P.A. of merely 1.69, one could imagine how easy it would be to write her off. But like every adversity she would go on to overcome, it started with overcoming that very first one. She soon found herself admitted to Lincoln University in Missouri.
Victoria had always taken less interest in vocations that a young person in her peer group or social strata would dream of. She had little interest in playing the doctor, the nurse, the pilot, the movie star, or many other vivid dreams that defined most childhood formative years.
Her dream was simple, “I want to do more than be a professional. I want to do something that will change the world”.
