About Jamiya
Jamiya, who goes by Miyah, is social and easy to connect with. After school, she looks forward to being with friends or heading out to shop. Weekends often include time with both friends and family, along with quiet moments watching TV or relaxing at home. She enjoys music and has an interest in playing guitar. Sports such as basketball, volleyball, and track give her an outlet for her energy.
Miyah is thoughtful in her interactions and brings humor into conversations. She describes herself as funny, loving, and caring, and those traits show up in how she builds friendships. Miyah has made tremendous progress in recent months and has learned to be a strong advocate for herself. While she can be reserved at first, her bubbly personality really shines through in time. Someone who knows her well describes Miyah as very smart and well-spoken and as having so much potential. Miyah values having people around her; recently she has taken a younger child under her wing and goes out of her way to make his day. During holidays, especially Christmas, she enjoys choosing gifts for others and being part of the celebration.
In school, Miyah has shown that she can do well academically. She would benefit from a parent or parents who advocate for and support her academic accomplishments. Her past experiences continue to affect how she responds to life, and she benefits from adults who are patient, understanding, and consistent.
Miyah has a clear sense of what she wants for her future. She talks about visiting New York City, especially during the holiday season. She aspires to become an FBI profiler one day. In her day-to-day life, she enjoys shopping, spending time with others, and using her electronics. She is open to new experiences and wants a life that includes both connection and independence.
Miyah would do best with a single mom or a two-parent household with caregivers who are experienced and trauma informed. She responds to relationship-based parenting and needs adults who can stay steady while building trust over time. A home in a city setting would match her interests. She would also prefer a family with cultural similarities and one that includes pets... especially dogs. Ongoing connections with her sibling should be supported.
Miyah is a teen who values relationships and has big goals. A dedicated and loving family will help her move toward the future she envisions.
