With unwavering support from the Youth on the Rise (YOTR) program, she courageously embraced her preferred name, found acceptance among her cohort and the YOTR team, and secured her first job as a Junior Developer at a graphic design company. Despite facing mental health challenges, concerns about identity-based discrimination, limited work experience, and a language barrier, Alexis’s remarkable journey stands as a testament to the transformative power of the Youth on the Rise program and the profound impact of inclusivity and support.
