<p>Homeless at 13, pregnant at 14: life was not working out the way young Deborah Somorin had hoped. And yet, Deborah is now a chartered accountant at Ernst & Young, founder of housing body Empower the Family and mother of a 13-year-old.</p><p> </p><p>How was this possible? It was down to two things: Deborah¿s sheer tenacity and wonderful people ¿ her ¿disruptors¿ or ¿circle of allies¿, as Deborah came to know them. These people gave Deborah what the care system didn¿t: genuine care and the chance not only to survive but to thrive. Deborah now pays this forward for young people who are in the situation she once was.</p><p> </p><p><em>Believing in Me</em> is an incredible story that will inspire people everywhere to reflect on those who positively affected their lives and on how our own actions can make a significant impact on the lives of others.</p>
