Help Alaya Reach Her NYU Dream in NYC

Help Me Move to NYC & Chase My Dreams!



Hi! I’m Alaya, I'm 21 years old, and I’m raising funds to get me to New York City—the place where my dreams can truly come to life! My passion is to become a young, successful Black woman in the film, fashion, entertainment, and beauty industry, and NYC is the perfect place to make that happen.

I am so excited to announce that I have been accepted into my dream school; New York University (NYU)! I will be attending their Integrated Marketing graduate program in the fall, which will give me the skills and connections to build the creative career I’ve always dreamed of. But getting there isn’t easy. Rent, tuition, and basic living expenses in NYC are high, and I need a little financial help to make this happen.

Why NYC? Why This Matters?

Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. I want to inspire others through my work, telling stories, creating art, and breaking boundaries in industries where representation and fresh perspectives matter. New York is where I need to be—it’s where I can network, grow, and step into the career I’ve always dreamed of.

How Your Support Will Help:

I’m so excited for this next chapter, but I can’t do it alone. Every single dollar helps—whether it’s $5, $50, or just sharing this with others, I appreciate anything you can do to help me get to NYC and start my journey.

Thank you so much for believing in me and being part of this dream. Let's make it happen!
