“As a young girl she was uncomfortable in her own skin. A black girl raised in a white neighborhood, she felt alone but had a deep desire to be seen. But she would eventually grow up and find a place where not only fit in but was also seen. That was just the beginning. Oneika Mays would go from feeling like she was finally seen by others to seeing herself for the first time in a whole new way. Come in and listen to Oneika Mays story. She’s type A, energetic, down to earth and another downright amazing F50Woman and she’s doing yoga in prison.”

Quotes She Served Up:
- “We get so caught up in being productive to contribute to society that desiring to pause feels foolish and selfish.”

What Changed Everything: Yoga. Yoga introduced Oneika to herself
Advice for Her Younger Self: Don’t be afraid and don’t worry about what everyone thinks. You can not run from grief or pain. Those things will propel you.
