Welcome Home! So glad to see you here. My name is Ayanna Reeves, I’m not your typical junior in high school. I’m just a wild LA County foster youth trying something different. I have been in 12 different foster and group homes in the past 3 years ! Luckily with these harsh experiences I found a way to grow and help others grow around me. Finally I let go of fear and open my heart to share my story and help others process and gain control over theirs. Join me on my journey as I navigate my way through family relationships, high school, love, friendships, feelings and so much more that gets thrown my way. Welcome to my family, can’t wait for us to talk.
