Nyiesha, 19 years old, NY

Nyiesha is a resilient and independent young woman who has learned to navigate life largely on her own. She grew up in a home where she and her siblings had to raise themselves, never truly experiencing the warmth, stability, or love of a traditional family. Nyiesha has remained strong and active, enjoying long walks and staying engaged with the world around her. Currently unemployed and working to build a stable home for herself, she is striving to create the comfort and sense of belonging she never had growing up.
