Tra-My has a very deep desire to hold space (to understand more about hold space) for other people especially disadvantaged children, youth, and women: to give them hope, to create an environment for them, to encourage and empower them to unleash their core values and develop their core competencies so they can flourish naturally and live in harmony with themselves, with others and with nature.
