Reflecting on Being an IMD Youth Leader: Chloe Sutterfield
I'm Determined Youth Leader Alumna: Era 4
Meet Chloe: “I’m Chloe Sutterfield and I have been in various roles for I’m Determined. My strengths are writing, public speaking, advocating, and much more. I currently spend most of my time working on my autobiography. I’m also a graduate student at JMU.”
“In this picture, I just finished my first day of my masters program.”
Quote from her Video:

Question / Answers from Talia:
- How did I’m Determined allow you to become more self-determined? How have you led a self-determined life since then?
- “I’m Determined has presented me with multiple opportunities to use my voice, allowing me to realize that my voice is much powerful than it gets credit for.”
- What is a memory you have with I’m Determined that stands out to you and why?
- “There are so many memories that stand out to me. From deep conversations with Kendal and Jesse to late nights on the set of Pulling Threads. They all stand out because they allowed me to be seen for who I was and what I was capable of instead of being seen as Cerebral Palsy or that poor person in a wheelchair.”
- If you could say something to your younger self (before discovering I’m Determined) what advice would you give them? How have you grown since then?
- “The thing I would say to my younger self would be life’s going to get harder, but you’re going to realize that you can’t give up on yourself. It’s not an option for us. I’ve become very comfortable in my own skin.”
