Tionna was free spirited and had a love for nature, animals and would often take impromptu walks in the woods and on nature trails. Her dream was to attend an HBCU and travel the world. Tionna loved painting, music, dancing, writing short stories, poems, reading books, going to Poetry Slams and spending time with her sisters and family.
