Harmony McClory was born and raised in San Diego, California. She turned 16 in the foster system, and was in the foster system till she was 18. She was 16 when she had her first child. Her father and mother were drug addicts also in and out of jail during her childhood. Harmony realized that she didn’t want her family to end up how she did.
So she went to Lindsay Community Day School to receive her high school diploma. She got her diploma and went to San Diego City College. Where she received two degrees, one in child development and the other in Black history. Harmony is now a kindergarten teacher in San Diego. She was almost married, but noticed that she didn't want anybody to rule her life besides her. She and her 12 year-old daughter spend lots of time together and help other in the foster system
