From a Mess to a Message
Kyonda and her two brothers and sister were raised by their single mother and were in and out of shelters most of their young lives. “I had a rough childhood and always felt the cards I was dealt weren’t fair,” she recalls. At 23, she struggled to hold a job because of her poor work ethic, so she couldn’t afford an apartment of her own. She also couldn’t control the anger she’d bottled up inside and was in and out of jail because of her violent behavior.
“I knew I needed to be motivated and I was mad at the world for the mistakes I was making. I felt my life was worthless.”
