Arcadia Ewell recently earned the title of Miss Boston and is competing for Miss Massachusetts in July.

Arcadia is a first-generation high school graduate who is now pursuing a PhD in Developmental Psychology. She’s a published children's book author and playwright and a successful content creator. She shares resources for students applying to higher education and provides realistic depictions of life as a graduate student with her social media followers. As a stalking survivor, she advocates for Dating and Domestic Violence awareness and prevention.

I am excited to have Arcadia with us today to help us aunts navigate some of these topics with our nieces and nephews and learn from her experiences.

Kellina Powell is a young entrepreneur who loves to help people with their personal growth and educate others about the deaf community. Little do people know, Kellina is actually a hard of hearing person. She became deaf at the age of four. She recently graduated with a psychology degree and is now starting her own online coaching business, while launching her book.

Kellina’s aunt has made an impact on her life by helping Kellina when she was bullied in school, even showing up to pick her up in a fancy red car. Her aunt introduced her to the world of travel and instills the importance of traveling when you are young. She also showed Kellina it is possible to live her career dreams and start her own business and other life lessons. In addition, Kellina inspires her aunt with all she has accomplished in her young life with her own business and writing a book, Every Day I am Just Deaf. Kellina also shares tips for us aunts who may have nieces or nephews who are being bullied in school.
