Tyona McCoy-Jennette first discovered Global Kinship Center through her mother, who had already experienced the transformational impact of the work. From her very first day, she felt something powerful, a “magical” sense of love and belonging that drew her in and continues to inspire her today.

Through the training, Tyona experienced a profound shift in her self-efficacy by learning to believe in herself fully, love herself authentically, and trust the power she holds within. “Since being in an environment where believing in myself was necessary,” she shares, “I have grown to love myself authentically and trust the power I have within me.”

Her understanding of team has also evolved from a group working toward a task to “many different sources of power that work to make a vision come to life.” Tyona now sees connection and synergy as essential elements of true teamwork.

Tyona’s ability to influence others has expanded in every area of her life from home to community and friendships. She has inspired many of her closest friends to invest in themselves and experience the same transformational journey.

One of her proudest accomplishments since completing the training is becoming a Captain, a role she once never imagined possible. “It truly has meant the world to me to be honored with that position and to give back to the amazing community that gave so much to me.”

Today, Tyona serves as a Captain Ambassador, working with and training future captains to keep the ripple of transformation alive and growing.

Her message to anyone considering this work is simple yet powerful:

“This work is one of a kind! When I ask myself what will help me be the best version of myself, Global Kinship comes to mind. Doing this work is what sets me apart from everyone everywhere I go.”

Tyona’s journey is a testament to what’s possible when love, leadership, and community come together.
Thank you, Tyona, for continuing to fuel the ripple!
