She is also a member of CoroRio a community choir for the past 6 years. Dionna is the youngest of 6 and loves her family dearly.

Being Ms. Youth is something that I don't take lightly. It is an opportunity to show my fellow youth of today that there are those of us that want to do more than just be a part of the world. The bible tells us in Matt 5:14 that "we are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;" and using this platform I plan to be an effective and positive role model towards my peers and the upcoming generations.
