MEET BIG SISTER TIFFANY
(MATCHED FOR A YEAR AND A HALF!)
What was the most memorable moment in your match?
Typically when Ja’Nayah and I go out, I do most of the talking. One evening we went to Cold Stone to use her gift card that she won from a BBBS event, and she talked to me the entire time! I was very surprised, but I enjoyed our conversation so much, and I appreciated her sharing a part of herself with me. Later that evening, Ja’Nayah shared a text saying, “I really enjoyed our time together”. This touched my heart and made me feel like being her Big Sister was meaningful.
What is your experience of being matched?
Having professionally worked with all age groups, age wasn’t a concern for me. When I met Ja’Nayah for the first time, we both had braces! I thought, "What were the chances of that!"
Once matched with Ja’Nayah, I thought it would be easier to communicate with a teenager; but such was not the case. It took some time for Ja’Nayah to trust me, but once she did, she talked more. After that, our times together were fun!
