Music is very important to Akiemah, and would have the radio on all day – and would probably be singing along!
Akiemah has big smile that lights up a room! She’s a likeable kid with a good sense of humor – and she loves a good “dad joke” (but let’s be honest, who doesn’t?). An active teen, Akeimah loves to ride her bike, rollerblade, or play basketball. The more active she can be, the better!
Music is very important to Akiemah – if she could, she’d have the radio on all day…and probably singing along! Don’t ask her to name a favorite song – she loves anything she can be-bop along to. She’d like to learn to play the drums so she can create her own beats too.
Akiemah would do well in either a one or two-parent home, with at least one parent being female. Akiemah should be the only or youngest child in the home. She’s made great progress over the past few years, and is eager for a family that can love and nurture her. More than anything, Akiemah wants to be safe and accepted for who she is.
Consistency will be important when it comes to new routines, and parents will have to be persistent about building up trust with Akiemah. In a family that is calm, understanding, and creates structure, she can thrive. Interested families should understand the impact that trauma can have on children.
