A first-generation adult college student, descending from a familial lineage of poverty, addiction, and trauma, Kaira actively engages in alchemizing her pain into her purpose. As a mother of two, she balances work, school, and family life while actively pursuing her dreams of generational wellness and success through higher education. A humanitarian at heart, she finds inspiration through connecting with others and ensuring that those around her feel seen, loved, valued, and cared for. “I am so grateful for the opportunity to show my children that the pursuit of dreams is always possible, regardless of age.”
