Kennedi, 20 years old, VA

Kennedi spent years moving between foster homes and often felt overlooked in a system where it was easy to feel unheard. Through creating videos, she has found a way to share her story, connect with others, and help young people in foster care feel less alone. She creates content about finding joy through difficult times and making the most of what you have, building a growing community that looks to her for encouragement and understanding. While working part-time and saving for better equipment, Kennedi hopes to turn her passion into a career as a content creator and mentor for other youth in care. After so long wishing someone would listen, she is now using her voice to make sure others feel seen and heard.
