Iyana McKinney didn't come from a rich family. She grew up with her sickly grandmother in a run down apartment building until her grandmother died just after she graduated college and even though they didn't have much, her grandmother made the sacrifice for her to finish high school and get a higher education even in her sick state. She had always had it hard even with a rich bestfriend who would do anything for her but she had learned while growing up to work hard for what she wanted so no one could use what they had done for her to control her so she always took the hard way out.
