Happy Birthday to Aya House Member Kierra Childs! 🎉🖤✨
Today we celebrate a woman who embodies heart, creativity, service, and Detroit resilience.
As Chief Executive Director of Childs Play Foundation, Inc., Kierra leads with a deep commitment to children, families, community, and joy. Her work reflects the kind of love that builds safer, stronger, more imaginative spaces for young people to grow, dream, and thrive.
When Kierra joined Aya House, she shared that what appealed to her most was that Aya House was founded from a love of Detroit, culture, intentionality, peace, love, community, and mental wellness. She also named what so many of us feel: Detroit is a city of fighters, builders, creatives, hustlers, and “GO GETTERS.”
That same Detroit spirit shows up in Kierra.
She brings event planning, project management, dance, creativity, design, and a true love for bringing people together. Whether she is building through nonprofit leadership, creating memorable experiences, or pouring into her family and community, Kierra carries the kind of energy that makes people feel possibility.
At Aya House, we are grateful for members who not only love Detroit, but actively help Detroit rise. Kierra is one of those people.
Happy Birthday, Kierra! May this new year bring peace, joy, abundance, creative flow, renewed strength, and beautiful moments with the people you love most.
Aya House celebrates you today. 🖤✨
