Why Nya wants to be a voice for children fighting cancer:

I would like to be a voice for children fighting cancer because I am a cancer survivor and know what it’s like to be in their shoes! I want to be an inspiration for these children. There was a time in my life where I didn’t think I was going to ever dance again however I persevered and I’m dancing again!! I want to be able to inspire others to do the same and this is a great way for me to give back!
