The Story Behind Beyond the Label

I founded Beyond the Label because I know what it feels like to be defined by a diagnosis. In fifth grade, I struggled deeply in school. Dyslexia and ADHD made learning a daily uphill climb. Over time, I learned that success isn’t about fitting a mold—it’s about embracing what makes you different. Today, I share my story so every child knows: you are more than a label.

Mission

Empower youth to rise above stigmas and discover their unique gifts.

Vision
