A person's perspective can literally be the difference between whether they do or die. Assisting clients to adjust their perspectives and giving them tools to do that on their own is essential to any professional relationship she has with any client. In 2020, she founded The Legasi Holistic Growth Institute, a non-profit organization purposed to provide educational classes and resources, mental health support, and extracurricular development opportunities for children in Trinidad and Tobago and in the Caribbean. She also volunteers with other organizations in Trinidad that support women and children in challenging domestic situations.
