"BREAKING THE CYCLE" - Documentary 

Growing up, Arzo was actually a very shy child in public and in class found it hard to speak up. She didn't like being noticed and wanted to just blend in. Over the years she realized that being this way would negatively impact her life so she made a constant effort to put herself in uncomfortable situations forcing herself to speak and grow. Arzo has now been a public speaker for many years giving keynotes, hosting events, facilitating workshops and speaking on various topics including social entrepreneurship, networking, leadership, women empowerment, confidence, body positivity, self esteem etc. She truly wants women to realize their self worth and says it's what holds them back from everything they want in life. She believes that once women learn how to connect to their inner power they can lead lives that are happier and more fulfilled. She most recently gave a TEDx Talk on the connection between foster care, sex trafficking and what any person can do to create change right now.

"Breaking the Cycle" is a short documentary film Directed and Produced by Arzo Yusuf
There are over 500,000 kids in the foster care system in America. Human traffickers target foster youth. Los Angeles is the #1 city in the U.S. for the most kids in foster care and #3 for human trafficking. Los Angeles has more than 30,000 kids in foster care. The system is broken and our youth are at high risk of being homeless and trafficked. We need awareness on what's going on. This short film addresses the issues and creates a call to action. We as a community can actually create change. Please join us on March 30th 2019 to find out how we can make a difference. If we can create change in Los Angeles, we have the power to impact the nation.
