Tiana, 20 years old, CA
Tiana is a first-generation college student working toward a degree in social work. She aged out of foster care and now balances a full class schedule with a 3 a.m. shift at the FedEx sorting facility to support herself. Her dream is to become a social worker so she can advocate for youth who’ve experienced trauma—just like she has. She faced some housing stablity and worked to find some supportive services. Since then, she’s been focused on building her financial skills, maintaining her grades, and adjusting to independent living.
