A parent at the age of fourteen.  Celia has defied the stereotype of a teenage mother.  Although faced with a number of obstacles during her teenage years, she was determined to excel.  She refused to accept the negative words that people attempted to plant into her life.  She knows that the statement “stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” is so untrue.  She understands the power that words actually hold.  She has broken down every barrier that has come her way.  She has a passion to encourage, inspire and uplift teenagers and adults.  She believes that most people are not maximizing their potential and that everyone has greatness within.  She inspires people to soar above the giants that are in the land and to speak to their mountains.
