Being homeless as a kid, what could possibly go right for Katrina?

Her grit led her to become a British Champion Artistic Roller Skater. She honed her discipline and excellence, her determination to be the best was clear, she competed with broken bones.Katrina's creativity and outside-the-box thinking propelled her forward, yet she grappled with feelings of arrogance and self-doubt.

Katrina shares how she went on a journey to embrace and believe she is "a shooting star" and believe she needs to be one. However, a tragic accident leaves Katrina wheelchair-bound ending her skating career, challenging her identity.

Navigating life's complexities, Katrina masked her upbringing from everyone, blaming herself for her parents' breakup. Discovering the power of social capital, Katrina starts to believe in herself and find her place in the world.

Katrina's story is vulnerable and relatable, offering insights into resilience, self-discovery, and the journey to finding her identity beyond external achievements. This is a reminder that resilience and self-discovery know no bounds.
