Early life

They are Latia "Tia" Charise Page and Sateara Renee Page, and she also has a brother, Justin. In her childhood, she was molested various times by some family members and trusted family friends.[4][5] While she was in high school, she played basketball, and had dreams of aspiring to be a WNBA player.[4][5] Yet, those dreams would soon change, when at 17 years old, she got pregnant, and had a child at 18, causing her to become a high school dropout.[4][5] This caused her life to spiral out of control, and she got addicted to drugs, causing her childhood boyfriend Clifton to depart for Atlanta, Georgia, in 2006.[4][5] She got her life under control by eventually relocating to Atlanta, and getting involved in music ministry.[4][5]
