ABOUT ME:
Hi, I’m Keena! I’m a social work student at Chicago State University, currently working toward my Master of Social Work degree—and no, that doesn’t mean I have all the answers, but it does mean I’m passionate about helping people figure things out!
Before diving into the world of social work, I spent time in law enforcement and the military, where I saw just how strong and resilient people can be—even when life throws them one curveball after another. Those experiences taught me the importance of compassion, human connection, and sometimes just having someone in your corner who “gets it.”
As a multicultural woman of color and a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I know firsthand what it’s like to navigate challenges that come from both within and outside ourselves. I’ve learned that authenticity isn’t a destination—it’s a process, and having a supportive space to grow makes all the difference. That’s exactly what I want to help create for others
