Adam Cox interviews Scarlett O'Connor, AKA The Queen of Resilience, and Miss Atlas winner about her journey from being abandoned by a narcissistic mother and alcoholic father at the age of 12, to being in a coma as a result of police brutality to becoming a beacon of hope for many. She did'nt allow a very difficult childhood and adolescence to get her down, but has succeeded through sheer determination. A quote from the Rocky movie, 'it's not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can be hit and still get up again' describes her journey well, and she's earned the title 'Queen of Resilience' from friends and colleagues who know her well. This is an inspiring example of how everyone has great potential, and how important it is to retain a positive mindset for the future, whatever the challenges.
