The Story

Syera and Anna crossed paths often as they went to the same high school, but only got close when Syera invited her to her church, Living Faith Tampa. Ever since, Syera has mentored Anna in her faith and the two have become close through bearing each other's burdens and living life together.   There's no one like Syera!

Emma is a sure, honest, and hilarious best friend. Though not an immediate friendship, once Emma and Anna started hanging out in 2021, they have been inseparable. Whether having deep convos on the phone or watching a bad netflix movie at home, Emma and Anna just love to be together.

Rebecca is an encouraging friend who keeps Anna accountable in God's word and living the Christian life.
