When Faye was 16, she got her first job at KFC as a team member. She wanted to help out her parents and also have some extra cash, but as she says, “I knew I wanted to be nurse. I love to help people. I do it with joy in my heart.”Faye continued working at KFC even when she went off to college, however, things didn’t go exactly as planned – she received Bs in two of her classes and was rejected from nursing school. To add to it all after the freshman year Lewis became pregnant with her son AJ, who was born in 2010. Faye left the university and moved closer to her parents.
