Dream, Believe, Achieve… These  three words are what Hope uses to describe herself.  Crystal Hope Knowles is a Georgia native, growing up in the small town of Emerson Georgia.  She cannot remember a time when she didn’t not allow herself to dream and imagine. It was through those dreams and imagination that she was able to see herself as someone greater that her poverty-stricken surroundings.  Before ever seeing the world for herself, she knew there was more out there than the struggle she was born into.  She used this vision to propel her forward, and not let herself be defined by where she came from but rather where she was going.
