Tayah began with Y-WE as the 2019-2020 Americorps Healthy Futures Program Coordinator. She was ecstatic to return to her home, Seattle, after studying Sociology and Human Services at Loyola University Chicago. While in Chicago, Tayah’s work off and on the university’s campus reflected her passion for working with marginalized communities while cultivating a safe and brave space for growth and healing. She spent 3 years contributing to an intergenerational Womxn of Color collective on Loyola’s campus, facilitating workshops, developing retreats and developing long lasting relationships. Tayah is very thankful to have found community at Y-WE.
