I first walked through those doors in 1994 as a young teenage girl with so much LIFE going on. I found a place that helped me grow and figure out things about myself. I made friends of all ages and I met some of my best friends there. I want to help our youth rediscover the greatness of House. We are in a new chapter and I am honoured to be part of it.
