Jayna Ratcliff

I graduated from Indiana University in Bloomington with a BS in Applied Health Science. As well, I have two minors in Dance and African American and African Diaspora Studies. I was a member of the African American Dance Company from 2017-2020. For the last three years I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician assisting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). I have now obtained my Life Insurance License.

How does the narrative of Cruces/Intersections affect you?

It has made me shift my perspective on what a journey really is and why do you decide to go on one if you’re intentionally seeking to go on a pathway. It also has allowed me to trust the process within the narrative as you don’t know which pathway you may take, or who you may take it with, along with trusting the movement enough despite all the twist and turns.

What has Cruces/Intersections made you think about in your own life?

It has made me appreciate my journey within my career path along with all the unexpected blessings that have tagged along. It has also allowed me to begin the process of trusting myself and my decisions, as well as living with the flow of change and letting go of the things that I can’t control so I may truly free myself and find happiness.
