Mya is a motivated and community-minded college student currently attending a local community college. She holds a leadership role as Vice President of the Black Student Union and is deeply engaged in creating spaces of connection, advocacy, and belonging for her peers. A first-generation student, Mya is working two jobs—one on campus and one at a local museum—to support herself while navigating school and life with limited family support.

Mya is a full-time college student, museum worker, and student leader who is balancing her academics, work, and community leadership as she prepares to transfer to a four-year university. After experiencing housing instability, she now has a safe place to call home. A desk would provide her with a reliable workspace to focus on her assignments, organize her schedule, and take charge of her educational goals. Having a desk supports not only her academic success but also her independence and confidence as a first-generation college student, helping her build a future on her own terms.
