Kristiona was placed in foster care at the age of two. She was adopted but later bounced around from foster home to foster home at the age of nine. After being returned to foster care, she aged out. Despite facing everyday obstacles and medical issues, Kristiona became independent and started her college journey, which has been successful. She has graduated with her Bachelor's degree and is now looking to continue her education to work with children. Currently, she works as a teacher at an early head start preschool and enjoys every moment of it. Kristiona is committed to breaking the generational cycle of abuse and lack of education. Her ultimate goal is to own and run a summer camp for children in foster care, providing them with not only fun but also therapeutic and mentoring support.

"Kristiona, you are a remarkable person and I send this book with so much respect. There is no limit to what you can do, and your past does not define you. I wanted to share this gift in honor of someone else I know who came from a great deal of pain and is unlocking her potential all the same. You're both amazing, and you're not alone. Warmly, Julie"
