Early Years of Erica Dixon

While we all know Erica rose to popularity after appearing on a hugely famous reality show on television, her path from nobody to someone is referred to as “the genuine untold narrative.” Erica was the youngest of a family of nine children. Her mother struggled with substance misuse, so she was raised by her uncle and aunt with her eight other siblings. After all, this dynamic television personality did not have a particularly pleasant childhood. Erica grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, as the youngest of nine siblings. Erica did not have a normal upbringing until she was placed in foster care with a family in Hempstead at the age of six.

At the age of 13, Erica returned to live with her mother, but things had not altered much. Erica found herself migrating again again, this time with her father, as her mother struggled with her drug addiction. Erica graduated from Forest Park High School and went on to Atlanta Professional Institute for her post-secondary education. Erica worked as a medical biller and coder during her undergraduate days to help support herself.
