Natasha S. Martin: brand marketing manager for ChoZen Society, Jacksonville, Florida.

Natasha S. Martin: My name is Natasha Martin. ChoZen Society is designed to inform, equip, and empower the youth and young adults that are in need in the Jacksonville area. We provide life skills — teaching them how to go out into the world and be the leaders that they were created to be.

I've always been drawn to helping those that don't have the role models around them to push them forward, so we felt the need to start something that is a safe haven for students that have a rough upbringing, showing them the things that we wish people would have taught us growing up.

If you've ever felt like you didn't have the resources that you needed, but now you're in a better place, what better way to give back than to give the same, exact things you wish you had?
