Young Builder of the Year 2018, Zinnia Young, celebrates International Women's Day at Youthbuild UK annual reception at House of Lords.
At the Youthbuild UK annual reception, on International Women's Day, hosted by Lord Lingfield at the House of Lords, Zinnia Young inspired YBUK's supporters and parliamentarians, including the Speaker of the House of Commons, Sir Lindsay Hoyle MP, with her story.
Growing up was difficult for Zinnia. She was abused by her father, placed in foster care, was bullied, became pregnant at 16 and had to let her daughter be adopted. Now, Zinnia is a role model for other young people who have had a difficult start in life.
