Plugged in | Sheena Knox | TEDxPerryvilleCorrectional 2018

Being one of the many faces of our country’s forgotten communities, Sheena gives you a glimpse inside these landscapes. Her weaving of stories gives you insight to her misfortunes but leaves you with seeds of hope and a call to action for our inner cities. “My heart was found and left within the inner city but my passion lays within the building blocks that allow these lost communities to thrive and succeed." From Sheena: "I was born and grew up in a disadvantaged environment; I’ve witnessed, and many times been a victim of the very dark things of this environment. Within the darkness there has always been a silver lining called 'light.' This light grew brighter and intensified when I became a mother of four beautiful children. These inspirations motivated me to build up these communities I was a part of. There are families just like mine in these communities. They want the same as each family unit wants: stability, confidence, security and opportunity. We all want the opportunity to leave a positive and lasting legacy for our generations to come." Sheena is not merely interested or concerned with community building; this is her passion. She calls this her life’s purpose and she will continue to be the fierce advocate for community building.
