Being in foster care was challenging for Ayuana, especially as a young Black girl in a traditional Mexican household. She had to adapt to a different culture while sharing parts of her own, which shaped her ability to find beauty in new experiences. One of her biggest strengths is perseverance; she never gives up and advocates for herself, even when her voice isn’t the loudest. In her free time, Ayuana enjoys listening to music, watching TV shows, and learning to sew, which serves as a creative outlet. Her ability to adapt without losing her identity is a key part of her resilience.
