Miggz Trussell was raised in Lawrence, MA. After losing her father at a young age, Miggz was put in group homes from which she frequently ran away. This led to her being detained by Department for Youth Services (DYS) off and on for almost three years. When she was released, Miggz succeed in staying out of trouble, due, in part to the new found motivation of expecting her daughter. This journey ultimately led her to UTEC where she has become a strong leader and community advocate.
