Hey! My name is Tristan and I am from Atlanta Georgia. I attend Unity Atlanta in Unity’s Southeast Region.
Unity has been a part of my life ever since I could remember. YOU has impacted my life like nothing before and I am so glad to be able to give back to the program that has helped me progress spiritually.
Watching movies, listening to music and spending time with friends are my favorite pastimes.
Thank you, everyone for having me as your Co-Indie! I promise to fulfill my role to the highest order.
Hey! My name is Noah Madden and my pronouns are He/Him. I’m from Lynnwood Washington and I attend Unity in Lynnwood in Unity’s Northwest Region.
Unity is a very special part of me. I’ve been attending Unity since I was about six years old and it has shaped who I am today and I can’t imagine the person I would be without it.
I love to bake and listen to music in my free time. And on occasion create things, usually paintings.
I can’t wait to see everyone at IYOU this year. I’m very grateful to have this opportunity and get this experience. I love getting to teach others and learn from them at the same time. This community is so special and this is going to be an amazing event! See you all there!
Why hello there! My name is Zinnia Crowley, and I’m from Unity’s South Central Region. My Unity Church of origin is in San Antonio, Texas.
My love for Unity has never stopped growing, I have been a Regional Officer, a Chapter X Officer, and now a Co-Indie! Unity Church has inspired me to pursue personal transformation and connect to my higher self.
A couple of my hobbies include doing nails, roller skating, and watching movies!
I can’t wait to shower y'all in love at IYOU. Till then…Mwah!!
