Cici

Cici is a freshmen at Lanier High School in Austin, Texas. She is the true definition of a strong and dedicated leader. In addition to being a place to learn about fitness and nutrition, JKL has been a place of refuge for Cici after recently suffering some family trauma.

When her JKL instructor, Ms. Willis, asked her why she keeps coming to JKL, she replied, “I’m safe here and I know that I am cared for- so why go home to be alone when I can be in JKL doing something constructive”. The just keep livin program has provided CiCi with a safe place where new friendships have been made.

She has found a passion for Zumba and enjoys keeping an active lifestyle. Her goal after high school is to obtain her business degree and cosmetology license. She hopes to one day own and operate a hair studio.
