Ka'liyah from Pennsylvania

Meet Ka'Liyah, a funny and energetic teenage girl who loves to crack jokes and laugh! She's very artistic and likes to draw, color, and do other arts and crafts. She's talkative and will chat about whatever comes to her mind, usually involving her friends or food. She's respectful and thoughtful in conversation and seems to listen to and process what is said. In her free time, she likes to unwind by watching ?teen? movies and television (her favorite movie is ?The Hate You Give?), as well as listening to music, preferably R&B. She also likes to play basketball and hang out with her friends. She loves food and says eating is also one of her favorite activities! Some of her favorites include spaghetti and dumplings! Favorite colors? Pink and purple. Favorite snack? Takis. She's good with pets and hopes her forever family has some (she especially likes Pugs!). When asked to describe herself, Ka'Liyah reported that she can be ?quiet but loud,? and can be ?shy but outgoing.? She's sassy, funny, intelligent, and helpful! Ka'Liyah has goals for herself in the future and has reported that after graduation, she would like to go to a tech school and pursue cosmetology, focusing on hair and nails. Ka'Liyah would like to find a family who will provide her with the love and support she needs and deserves. She said she must find a family who won't give up on her when she makes mistakes. She acknowledges that, like everybody, she will make mistakes and struggle, so she wants to find a family who will stick by her and be committed to her, despite any ups and downs that happen in life. Parental rights have been terminated for Ka'Liyah. For more information, a family can call the SWAN Helpline at 1-800-585-SWAN or have the family worker contact the recruiter, Britney Bartlett, via telephone or email bbartlett@families4kids.org.
