Sunny's story is one of resilience and triumph. Despite being born into homelessness and facing the challenges of foster care and adoption, Sunny emerged as a strong advocate for change. With nearly two decades of experience in the social work arena and three published books to her name, Sunny brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to Poets Underground. Her passion for helping others find their voice through poetry is at the core of her work.
