Artesia Franklin is a 28-year-old, 9 years natural, curly-caregiver-in-training. After 6 years in the working world, she has found her way back into the psychology classroom and is loving every moment of it.

Haillee Mason is originally from “the sticks of Fuquay Varina, North Carolina”, a town with “less people than the number of undergraduate students at Florida International!” She continues, “I’m a country girl with a city heart and attend school in the heart of Miami, Florida. I have dreams and not the ones that require sleeping. I believe that I can and will become anything I put my heart into with the help of God, hard work, my mom, and the Curly Caregivers Book Scholarship won’t hurt!” She is an International Relations major.
