For the resonant stories of this year’s honorees, TigerLily visually captured the emotional depth of each subject’s story, particularly that of Plata's, where every moment honors the rawness and authenticity of her journey. Plata is a testament to how the organization can change an individual’s and their family’s trajectory. Its Take Stock in Children program supports underserved children through high school and helps them earn a college scholarship. Plata’s participation in the program led her to excel in school and to open her own law firm in Jacksonville, Florida, where she specializes in criminal justice and juvenile law with a focus on fighting for the underserved in the community.
