Brittany is my oldest sister, though she often forgets she’s a sister and slips into “mom mode” with us. She’s always guiding, protecting, and loving us with her whole heart. She steps into that big sister role so naturally—not because she has to, but because that’s just who she is: someone who leads with love and shows up for the people she cares about, every single time. She’ll always tell you the truth, even when it’s hard to hear, but with Brittany, it never feels cold. It feels safe, honest, and deeply loving. When she loves you, she loves fiercely. Her loyalty doesn’t waver, her support never fades, and you’ll never doubt where you stand with her which is right by her side. She’s our family’s pink-loving, drama-obsessed, all-things-girly girl — but also, the biggest scaredy-cat of us all. Somehow, she’s the bravest one too, because she still shows up, still leads, and still protects us no matter what. Brittany is the kind of sister you’re lucky to have, the one who lights the path, makes you feel safe, and reminds you what unconditional love looks like. I admire her more than she knows.

Sydney is the middle sister — our calm in the chaos, the one who somehow always ends up playing mediator (whether she wants to or not!). She has a quiet strength and a way of lifting your spirits without even trying. She’s funny in the most unexpected ways, and her kindness is so genuine that she gives without ever asking for anything in return. She might be a little unpredictable, but there’s always a purpose behind it — a mix of spontaneity and thoughtfulness that makes her so special. Sydney’s the adventurous one: rock climbing, exploring, Diet Coke in hand (especially if it’s from Chick-fil-A). She’s sharp, incredibly wise, and somehow always has an Excel sheet ready for any life scenario. Organized, but never rigid. Soft-spoken, but always honest, she’ll tell you the truth in a way that actually makes you feel better. Sydney will always have your best interest in heart. She’s the kind of sister and friend you can count on, in big ways and small.

Jamilyn has been in my life since I was about three years old, and from that moment on, she’s always felt like family. She’s the kind of person who gently pushes you out of your comfort zone, making life feel a little more exciting and a lot more meaningful. She’s sincere, loyal, and always honest—in the best way. Jamilyn shows up not just when it’s easy, but especially when it matters most. She believes in the people she loves with her whole heart and never gives up on them. Her friendships mean everything to her, and it’s clear in how much love she pours into those around her. She brings light into every room—literally the kind of person who can brighten your entire day just by being there. Adventurous and full of life, she’s always down for a hike, a road trip, or making spontaneous memories with the people she cares about. Being friends with Jamilyn just makes you a better person. She challenges you, encourages you, and helps you grow—always in a way that feels safe, supportive, and full of love. She’s the kind of friend who makes you believe in yourself a little more just by standing beside you.

I met Kendall when I was a freshman in college, and from the very beginning, it felt like I had known her forever. We lived together, worked together, laughed through late nights, and made memories I’ll always hold close. Since then, she’s become one of my closest friends. Kendall is the kind of person who brings light and energy wherever she goes. She has this natural way of making you feel safe, seen, and completely taken care of — like everything is going to be okay, just because she’s there. She’s hilarious and full of life, but what truly makes her special is her heart. Whether you need someone to laugh with or a shoulder to cry on, she’s always there — no questions asked. She’s happiest near the ocean, surrounded by friends, and yes — everything has to be pink. And just a little heads-up: Kendall will absolutely be the loudest voice in the room, you will not miss it, trust me! It’s a voice that is filled with love, laughter, and emotion!

Jess and I met when we were around 12 years old, and from the start, it just felt easy — like we were meant to be in each other’s lives. Every summer, we were inseparable, and those days turned into years of friendship that mean the world to me. Jess is one of the most quietly incredible people I know. She’s resilient, deeply honest, and pours so much love into the people she cares about. While she may seem reserved on the outside, once you’re lucky enough to get a glimpse of her heart, you realize just how special she truly is. Her loyalty runs deep, and she holds on to her friends with an unshakable bond. She’s the kind of person who shows up, stays, and supports — all without ever needing recognition. She loves the beach (under an umbrella, and only for about 20 minutes — lol), convertible Mustangs, and being around the people she loves most. We’ve shared so many memories together, but our endless Chick-fil-A dates will always be some of my favorites. Jess has been a constant in my life, and knowing her has made me a better version of myself.

Hailing from Philadelphia, he has always had a passion for jewelry and fashion, loving to express himself through his wardrobe and accessories.

Shawnya is an adventurous and outgoing person who has always been passionate about exploring new places. Whether it's a spontaneous weekend getaway or a long overseas journey, she's always ready to pack her bags and hit the road. Growing up in Philadelphia, she developed a strong sense of style, loving sneakers and dressing to impress wherever she went.

Now living in Georgia, she continues to thrive in her work, combining her love for aviation with her practical skills. Her positive energy and dedication to everything she does make her an inspiring person.

Ethan is one of the most positive and fun-loving people I know. He’s energetic and always knows how to make the best of any situation, turning even the simplest moments into a good time. We grew even closer when he lived with me in Philadelphia for a while, creating memories that have lasted a lifetime. Now living in Georgia, Ethan enjoys life by spending quality time with his family and having fun with his friends. His upbeat attitude and zest for life make him a joy to be around, and I’m grateful to have such a great connection with him.

Nahshon balances his passions with a strong sense of dedication. He’s an avid gym-goer, always making time to stay in shape, and when he’s not working out, you can often find him unwinding with video games. Despite his love for gaming, he values spending time with his family and enjoys going out with friends, cherishing those moments of connection. We met at West Chester University as criminal justice majors, and it’s been great having someone with whom we share the same academic path. He’s focused on pursuing a career in law enforcement, and I have no doubt his drive and commitment will help him succeed in this field.
