MS. Y.A.N.A. was established in February 2006 under the
vision of Mrs. Tyra Simpkins. This group is the one of the of
the largest in the Maryland area, with members in Texas, New
Jersey and across the country. MS. Y.A.N.A. holds monthly
support group meetings (the third Wednesday of each month)
where group members discuss topics that will help to improve
their overall health. Topics range from cognitive, emotional &
mental health, to job related issues, love & intimacy and
relationship concerns.

MS. Y.A.N.A. wants to address the entire need of the
individual, not just focus on the illness; multiple sclerosis.
Our group is comprised of several key people, which keep us
moving smoothly and in the right direction. We have a
Marketing Director, Marisa Bess, who is in charge of getting the
exposure and name recognition for the group. Our Event
Coordinator and Membership Coordinator is Brenda Dyson.
She is responsible for making sure that our MS. Y.A.N.A
members are well informed of all upcoming MS related events
and activities.
