When she is not in front of the camera, you will find her at the gym, volunteering, planning charity events and United Nations youth programs. Working for the UN has been a highlight and accomplished goal that Vanessa is extremely proud of. Through focusing on eradicating racial discrimination and promoting inclusion in schools with sports programs, she has been able to speak with youth about anti-bullying, anti-racism and confidence. Which she feels is a very timely cause in our society.
