Gentle
Caring 
Adaptive
Strong

When I think of Kierra, the first words that come to mind are grit and grace. Life has dealt her some real setbacks, yet she keeps pushing forward. She said, "People label me as strong, but I don't feel strong. I think I'm gentle, easygoing, caring, and very adaptable. A part of me is very eccentric, but I have spent my whole life in survival mode, so I'm still figuring out how to express that part of me."  

Kierra says, "I have started working on myself and am learning to make my own way." I am grateful for her honesty and vulnerability to share such raw parts of herself with me, a complete stranger. Amid life's chaos, Kierra's story reminds us of the importance of resilience and the power of authenticity.
