When I was in college, my summer of my freshman year, I went to Spain and studied abroad, which was amazing. So I was over there for two months and two days after I came back my younger sister was killed in a car accident. I was 19 and she was 14.

And so my mother and I started the Carrie Brown foundation. Every year we send a handful of underprivileged kids to a camp. My sister always loved her camp. So we send kids to it who don’t have the means to be able to go to summer camp.

After my sister passed away I was looking for something to get involved with and I started a program where I was at this home where there were these girls that were in foster care that were under the age of 18 that had children. So here’s like a 16 or 17 year old girl with a two year old kid. There’s no way they can place them in foster care and you know, they didn’t have any role models and any guidance. So that’s something kind of big that I’m passionate about.  Of course, I’m hoping with the Carrie Brown foundation to do more with that.
