Hi there, My name is Arieyona Dash Adams. If you pronounce my name correctly, thank you. Some tend to always have a difficult time and I don ´ t mind correcting them. My mother always told me the important of someone saying your name correctly. My name is unique and It deserves to be said properly. I love my name and feels like it fits me because it’s different in many way. Let me tell you how. Although many have heard of my name before,  I have never met anyone with the same spelling. My Titi came up with it. My middle name comes from my mother's best friend that passed when she was 15. Her mom allowed my mom to carry on a part of her name and I adore it.

Family history

The two that stand out to me the most will be race and ancestry. The reasons for me picking these is because most importantly I am an African American woman, which I describe as being strong, independent and powerful. Secondly my ancestry matters to me because of the life lessons my family once had to go through to make us who we are today.

Clothing

The clothes that define me would be me dressing up for a special occasion. I do not go out of the house looking any kind of way, you never know who you may see. I like to wear graphic tees with quotes to describe how Im feeling that day. Most importantly I wear comfortable clothing.

Quote

Remember that stress doesn't come from what's going on in your life. It comes from your thoughts about what's going on in your life.

i chose this quote because stress is not a solely a result of external circumstances or events happening in our lives .

Cheering is more than just a sport for me it’s a passion that brings joy ,energy and teamwork into my life. I’ve made long life friendships through cheer , and we worked together to perfect our routines and support each other on and off the floor . Cheer has taught me how to work as a part of a big team and the discipline required to perform . I aspire to continue growing in a cheer and perhaps even maybe coach one day to show my passion with other .!
