Jada Hogan

Jada Hogan is a high school senior at Vicksburg Catholic School in Vicksburg, Mississippi. After being misdiagnosed by many doctors, believing that she had a mental illness rather than having an allergic reaction, she’s made it her life’s work to encourage others to seek help and properly diagnose children and teens. She intends to study psychology and become a psychiatrist to help women and people of color with their mental health. Hogan gives back to her community through clothing and furniture donations and volunteering at soup kitchens. She’s developing a suicide prevention club in Mississippi called the Life Lifters Club and aims to reach users across the globe.
