As a child, Akeydra was a dancer, athlete, and academic scholar. Her passion for children and her community was developed from her experience at the LaFern Williams Center. There, she was mentored, tutored, participated in cheerleading, track and field, softball, and after school programs. The Lafern Center gave her an avenue for self-exploration and creativity. She wants to be able to provide that type of life-changing experience to others. The Lafern Center was bought by the YMCA where Akeydra went back as a teen to volunteer as a Y-Leader. Her volunteer work included mentoring, tutoring, and activity planning.
