Previously, Kiana Peay from the projects of Yonkers, New York, Kiana Leroux, has now been active for the past three years. She was the girl who survived shelters, childhood trauma, going through postpartum during a pandemic, and decided to turn her entire story into a platform built to be a safe space for those without a voice. With a notable engagement rate of five percent, Kiana has gained over one million supporters across TikTok and Instagram and has realized that her life’s purpose is to continuously be a person of guidance to others. As an influencer, she's realized that it is her job and responsibility to show up for others the way she wishes that someone would have shown up for her when she was younger. Now, her way of giving back is using what she has gained as an influencer to build a shelter for displaced and orphaned youth. Kiana never imagined that her way of changing the world would start with social media, but she wouldn’t change her journey for anything.
