## Early life

Yancey was born and raised in Camden, New Jersey, to Winston Clifford Yancey and Jelena Corrine (née Tyler) Yancey as the youngest of 3 children. She was heavily involved in gymnastics and cheerleading since age three. She began watching wrestling shows with her sister and cousin, fellow wrestlers **Syreena** and **Rob Cayman** on Saturday nights. She became a fan of performers such as **Delta Madison**, **Endee Leights**, **Mei Long**, **Syria**, **Amber Torres** and **Melissa Schumacher** to name a few. After seeing Syreena wrestle at one of her events, Yancey told her sister that she wanted to follow in her footsteps. Right at that moment, Syreena vowed to personally train her when the time was right.

## Professional wrestling career

### Early career

After graduating high school, Yancey began training under Syreena and former wrestler **Jirah Martin** at the NEX-Gen School of Wrestling in Orlando, Florida. Martin willing paid for her two-year tuition program out of her own pocket. Like her cousin and sister before her, she trained vigorously and learned the skills necessary to become a standout performer.

## Personal life

Her father was born in Trinidad & Tobago and raised in Newark, New Jersey, while her mother is a Canadian-born Trinidadian, much like her uncle **Donovan Strong**.
