Prairie View A&M University Honors student Makiya Corde Minney was known as “Dr. Kiya” growing up – she always wanted to be a cardiologist.
That is, until she learned she has emetophobia – an intense fear of vomiting.
Since then, taking early college classes in criminal justice in high school, as well as seeing family members treated unfairly in the justice system, led her down a new career path into the legal world.
