Who is Nyeasha Pickens
Nyeasha is described as 5’6″ tall, weighing approximately 160 pounds, with red highlights in her hair. She was last seen wearing a white crop top, cheetah print shorts with “Big Mama”, and pink and blue shoes. Her grandmother, Donna Lewis, noted that Nyeasha may actually be closer to 5’9″.
