Okiya’s Bio
My name is Okiya Smith and I recently moved back home from Alabama, finishing up my Bachelor of Arts at The Alabama State University. I am 24 years old and currently working with Wright Direction Family Services with children with disability. I have a soft spot in my heart for the elderly. My sweet grandmother, who had dementia passed away last year after being cared for by my mother and I. I traveled back and forth while I was earning my degree to help my mother take care of her mother. We bathed, prepped her food (sometime pureed), sat her on up on the porch, sing songs, laugh, and talk about the old days. I love being in the presence of my elders because they teach us things we didn't know or enhance our vision so we see what the didn't. Its a blessing!
Although I work with WDFS with children who have learning disabilities I would love the opportunity to be there for assistance! please feel free contact with any questions
