Nakia's foster care experience has taught her the power of authenticity and the freedom that comes from accepting herself exactly as she is. She's a bold, unapologetic young woman who's learning that self-love means celebrating all of herself, not just the parts others might approve of. At her residential program, Nakia is known for her confidence, her humor, and her refusal to shrink herself to make others comfortable. She's working on extending the same fierce acceptance she shows others to herself, particularly around body image and self-worth. What makes Nakia special is her journey toward radical self-acceptance and her growing understanding that loving herself fully is revolutionary, and her dream is to live authentically and joyfully, completely comfortable in her own skin and inspiring others to do the same.
