At 32 years old, Ar­i­an­na Sookram of Chase Vil­lage, Ch­agua­nas, is known by many for her warm spir­it, gen­tle na­ture, and gen­uine care for oth­ers. A young woman of great faith and a qui­et in­ner strength, her sto­ry is one shaped by per­se­ver­ance and a deep sense of re­spon­si­bil­i­ty to loved ones. In the cir­cum­stances of ad­ver­si­ty she has faced, her un­shake­able sense of self has made her ex­tra­or­di­nary, and those who know her recog­nise a woman who has qui­et­ly built a life root­ed in hard work, hu­mil­i­ty, and trust in God.
