KANSAS CITY, Mo. – U.S. Navy sailors from across the fleet are in the area this week for Kansas City Navy Week, volunteering in the community and discussing why the Navy matters to the Heart of America.
While many of the visiting sailors are from all over the country, this Navy Week will carry special meaning for those sailors from the area, including Petty Officer 2nd Class Mya Lister, a native of Kansas City, Missouri. Lister is currently assigned to USS John C. Stennis, one of the Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.
“I’m looking forward to bringing awareness about the Navy to my local community and sharing my Navy experience with my family and friends,” said Lister.
Lister graduated from Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in 2018. Additionally, Lister is working toward a bachelor’s degree in legal studies through Roger Williams University and is expected to graduate in 2025.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Kansas City.
“Growing up, I learned the importance of perseverance and integrity,” said Lister.
