Count your Blessings- My Bio

Greetings All,

I MISS BLOGGING!!!!!!!!!!

In honor of me missing you all, I decided to do a quick post on what God has in store in my life. I wrote this bio in an e-mail a few months ago when my favorite high school teacher invited me to speak come back and speak to young girls in a Women Ambassadors club (where they seek to encourage and support young women in their academic and professional success now and in the future). I am honor to have such privilege and will be going this Friday (pics coming soon). A lot of things I hope to become, I have and will be. I am literally counting my blessings... get to know me and where I am now. I think it's good to sit back and recognize all the things you have accomplished and pat yourself on the back. Keep going!

Remember: you are free to comment below! Hope this inspires you!

In the future, Ayana hopes to be a counselor (guidance, couples/marriage, family, and individual). She enjoys doing research which is important in her field. She also hopes to travel abroad and own her own practice. Her dream occupation in which she came in wanting to be is a music therapist. She hopes to continue talking and empowering women on feminism and race issues (her newly found passions). She lives believing that nothing is impossible and that one can be anyone/anything they want to be."
