                                     ****Join LaNiyah at MindStream Academy****

For a 7-year old, LaNiyah Bailey has already accomplished a lot, but she has also been through a lot. LaNiyah was always teased and bullied for being different until the day she decided to do something about it! She has since authored two books on bullying and weight-issues, and is taking the world by storm with her can-do attitude and shining personality.

LaNiyah wants to pay it forward and help another young person who is experiencing bullying because of their weight. It seemed natural for LaNiyah to partner with MindStream Academy, a health and wellness boarding school in Bluffton, South Carolina for teens and tweens who want to get healthy, fit, lose weight, take control of their lives, build self-esteem, and pursue their own personal passions.

“LaNiyah’s Smile” is a gift of financial assistance* issued from LaNiyah to a young person age 12-17 to attend MindStream Academy.  The scholarship’s recipient will be determined by their compelling story as well as who will most  exemplify LaNiyah’s message of tolerance, understanding, and hope.

Here’s how to apply Submissions must be made through either video (preferred) or an essay (minimum 300 words) explaining your experiences with bullying and why you want to attend MindStream Academy. Please fill out the scholarship form completely. Paste your essay or link to your video in the field provided.

*Scholarship awards are needs-based and range from $5,000 – $10,000. By submitting, you agree to allow MindStream Academy to use portions of your essay and/or video for promotional purposes. Scholarship recipients will be chosen by representatives of MindStream Academy and LaNiyah Bailey. Winners will be notified privately. Applicants must be 12-17 years old.

PIX11's Nathan Kamp sat down with 7-year-old LaNiyah Bailey about her books on bullying, being teased for her weight and how she's making a difference.

Nathan later spoke more about the work of this amazing 6-year-old, who is using her negative experience to help others. He also shared his story of being an overweight teen and his weight issues. Dr. Lawrence Balter also stopped by to discuss bullying, specifically for weight or personal appearance.

About a month ago we received an email from our friend Ms. Veronica over at Pix11 News expressing their interest in LaNiyah's advocacy and her story.
We set up a date for LaNiyah to fly to NYC to do an in-depth interview.

LaNiyah visited New York  a week ago, for the interview sponsored by 'Dunkin Donuts' with Pix11 News and a book signing at Hue-Man Bookstore in Harlem, NY.

                                      "This interview is one of her best interviews to date."

                                                                     Why do I say that?

Well, LaNiyah who if you remember and have viewed her interviews from a year ago has now gained a load of confidence and has come out of her shell. She's very keen and truthful on her bout with bullying and she understands now more than ever the realistic affects of bullying.

She gave Pix11 a very enlightening and wholehearted look at her short little life, her bout with bullying and her plea to banish the thing that has taken the lives of many young people that were being bullied in the past few months. 

We hope that you too will join our movement and help us "Bust out bullying" for once and for all!!!
