Delaney Youngson, our Rising of the Month, has faced a lifetime of struggles with insecurity stemming from a rare genetic disorder that set her apart from her peers. Born with this condition, she endured criticism and negativity, leading her to develop a deep-seated obsession with comparing herself to others. The divorce of her parents at the age of 8 only intensified her insecurities, leaving her feeling unworthy and isolated.

In coping with her struggles, Delaney turned to the world of rap and Hip-Hop music, initially borrowed from her brother. Amid self-hatred and loneliness, she discovered solace in poetry, making it her therapeutic outlet. As she entered adulthood, she pursued higher education, ultimately finding her passion through journaling and volunteering at a yoga studio. Her dedication and ambition caught the company’s attention, leading to a formal invitation to join their team.

Delaney acknowledges the profound connection between self-perception and one’s thoughts, emphasizing that there’s no quick fix for how we feel about our looks. She has found joy through her journey, treating herself with kindness and redirecting her once upside-down thoughts toward confidence and success. Today, she actively spreads inspirational messages on social media, advocating for the importance of finding passion and not letting others’ opinions define one’s reality.

Delaney Youngson’s story exemplifies resilience, character, and leadership, showcasing her transformation from an insecure young woman to a thriving and confident music professional. Today, we celebrate youths like Delaney who demonstrate these qualities in their communities.
