Christiana engaged in many musical opportunities within her community, including singing in church, hospitals, youth centers and facilities for the elderly. Music was an integral part of her life, but all that came to a halt when a mysterious throat virus resulted in emergency surgery. Christiana was told she would never sing again. Vowing to recover, Christiana miraculously regained her voice and devoted her life to giving back through music. Recently earning a degree in social work, Christiana strives to bring awareness to mental health issues and the power of music to underserved communities.
