Faces of Dyess: Rising above adversity

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Jerrika Stark, 7th Force Support community services technician has overcome a number of difficulties in her childhood, including loss of her guardians, neglect from her mother and teenage homelessness. Stark lives by the advice her grandmother once told her: “No matter what you’re going through or how hard it is, it’s only one moment in your life. You can get through it, I promise. After you get through this moment, the next moment is yours to take and just keep going with it.” (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Austin Mayfield)
