Amanda left this university empty-handed, heart shattered. Back then, there was no support - only silence. She didn't reach for her. She turned her back and walked away. Five years later. Amanda returns - not as a student, but as a name everyone knows. Forbes covers. Headlines. Rooms that fall dead silent the second she walks in. Amanda is the one who clawed her way up from nothing. They invited her to answer the questions of those who've never learned how brutal it feels to fall. And there she is, front row. The one who once made Amanda doubt everything. The one who lost the right to ask - yet still aches to hear the answer. But this time, Amanda owns the stage. And all her attention belongs to the woman who once turned away. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🏅7 «Advocates»
