“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans

and a future.”-Jeremiah 29:11
her story
Trinity has a passion for acting. As a student at BTW Magnet, a
school centered on the arts, she has the opportunity to pursue
her passion, and has proven time and time again that she has
real talent. She is treasurer of BTW’s Thespian Honor Society,
and placed third at the Omega Talent Search, as well as at
Alabama’s Trumbauer Theatre Festival. She shares, “Theatre is
a passion of mine and it inspires me everyday to expand my
imagination and step into other people’s shoes. It allows me to
access a different part of my brain and gives me something to
work towards to get better at.” When asked how she wants to be
remembered, Trinity answered, “I want to be remembered as
someone little girls look to and say “I can do that too!” I want to
be that person who gives others hope that nothing is impossi-
ble, no matter who you are or where you’re from, as long as you
work for it.”

Trinity explains, “I have plans to become a professional actress.
Acting is the one thing that makes sense. It's something that's
always been a part of me, and it's always been there.” She adds,
“If I couldn't be an actress, I'd teach theatre!”

Ferlisa is proud of Trinity’s self-worth, stating, “She stands on her
own confidence and not what others may think of her.” She adds,
“As her mother, I ensure she is afforded the opportunity to explore
all her options so she can make the best decision for the path she
chooses to make.”
