Kiera*

Hi! My name is Kiera. I am 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. I am Jamaican, white, and Indian. I like to dance and play the piano. I really like to go to parties and have fun.

I came to MySistahs looking for information for a friend. Then, I stayed to see what other girls my age have to say about HIV, STI, and AIDS. I wanted to know what they think about this epidemic that is killing so many young women. I became a peer educator because I want young people my age to see that we know about this stuff and can share what we know. Then maybe they’ll say “Wow, she knows about this stuff, maybe I should see about it, too.” Then, they’ll learn more and pass it on to their friends and so on.

I want to help young women my age learn about pregnancy and parenting. I see girls my age who are pregnant and don’t know what to do. Maybe I could help by teaching other young women of color how to use protection and, if they’re pregnant, sharing resources with them on how to deal with parenting. I’ll be so happy if you’ll give me a chance to help.

Thanks for reading my bio. Bye!!
