Kiyara Wade

Hi, I’m Kiyara Wade — a proud graduate of The University of Akron with a degree in Strategic and Organizational Communication, a minor in Marketing, and certificates in Social Media and Women’s Studies. I’m passionate about using the power of communication to create inclusive, engaging experiences that build community and drive impact. Throughout college, I gained hands-on experience in leadership, event planning, media, and advocacy, and now I’m excited to take those skills into the professional world.

Whether it’s crafting compelling campaigns or uplifting underrepresented voices, I’m all about meaningful connection and forward-thinking change.
