(Biography)
Ayana (Yaya) Morgan Woodard, a Marin City Native, is committed to supporting her community through education, entrepreneurial leadership, and design. She graduated from Marin Catholic and received her Bachelor of Science in Political Science (Pre Law) from Tuskegee University.
Yaya is very interested in Marketing/ Branding and has worked with several Marin City organizations, including Performing Stars, Bridge the Gap, Hannah Project, First Missionary Baptist Church, Growth Circles, Etc. Her understanding of marketing and her mastery of social media has allowed her to be an effective tool during COVID-19 and in this digital era.
Yaya is no stranger to the stage. She has been in high school and community productions, including Griot's 2023 production of Queen of Cubs. She enjoys acting/ theater because it allows her to build empathy and look at the world differently, through another person's perspective.
Yaya is excited to work with Griot because she can work with young people in a mentorship capacity while leading a local community organization's marketing and branding initiatives.
