Schoolteacher Liana Mohd believes that one’s past doesn’t have to determine their future. It’s a belief that she’s formed from her own life experiences.

She was orphaned when she was just five years old, placed in an orphanage at seven, adopted at 14, and grew up amidst elderly residents in a home where her adoptive parents were caretakers.
