Kaia Beck

Then: Twenty-two-year-old Kaia changed her name from Margaret after living in Tanzania. Her adopted name means "stability" in Swahili. A native of Chicago, Illinois, she now majors in African-American studies at UC Berkeley. Kaia is a strong woman in every sense of the word. Extremely conscious of her body, she maintains a strict diet and exercise routine. She is an excellent debater and is likely to challenge any idea with which she does not agree.

Now: KAIA has relocated back to the Brooklyn/New York area after spending a year at U.C. Berkeley (and before that, New York University). She continues to pursue a career in acting and writing.
