Janya, 20 years old, CA

Jayna is a loving and caring person who, unfortunately, had a challenging childhood in the system. She has aged out of the system and is experiencing homelessness. She is trying to get on her feet little by little. Jayna is dedicated to improving her lifestyle so she is successful and comes out on top for herself. She hopes one day to become a teacher for young children. She states that that's been her dream since she was very young because she wants to be a role model for those who feel alone. She also aspires to get a home for herself so she can finally have a secure sense of home. Jayna seeks comfort in art and people watching. She has always loved expressing her feelings through her art. When it comes to people watching, she shares that it gives her a sense of hope for the world, seeing so many different people every day and knowing that they are everywhere, all at one time, with so many different stories and wishes, reassures her that she can make it if she pushes herself.
