Remember Keiara Bell?  She made national headlines scolding then-Detroit councilwoman Monica Conyers in 2008.

She lectured the city councilwoman about belittling colleague Ken Cockrel, Jr. calling him "Shrek." 

Conyers later went on to serve time in federal prison for bribery. But whatever happened to that 13-year-old school girl from the rough and tumble side of Detroit?

How does a young person succeed where crime is rampant and jobs are scarce. A place where life isn't easy.

Bell is now 21 and living proof the best can be found in any town if given the chance to flower.
