I am Diamond Beauford and a peer advocate for the Young Women’s Project (YWP) in Washington D.C. I currently work on the Foster Care Campaign (FCC) team where I learn how to educate my peers about youth homelessness and their rights. I am now a senior at IDEA Public Charter School and part of the volleyball, softball and basketball team. During my free time I love doing spoken work and creative writing. After graduating from high school, I will be attending Colby-Sawyer College in the Fall and following a pre-med track to eventually become a medical doctor.
