"Situations: Catching up with Sade Walker and Tia Prescott
We originally shared Sade Walker's and Tia Prescott's stories in 2014 and 2015, respectively. Both women were so driven and passionate that they compelled us to revisit them and offer an update.
Sade is now a graduate of Lane College (Jackson, TN). Tia also graduated from Michigan State University (East Lansing, MI).
Their futures are bright, and CAYF could not be more proud. Enjoy. #GoYoung
