Joyanna's Story

Joyanna Davis has overcome life’s challenges because of an attitude that broke barriers and led her to open the doors that allow her to live out her dream.

Learning was a challenge at every stage of life. She was born with the genetic eye condition, Ocular albinism (OA). The disease reduces pigmentation in the eyes, resulting in vision impairment requiring specialized glasses at a young age. But Joyanna pushed through the difficult years, choosing not to listen to those who told her she couldn’t achieve her goals.
