Jayne Amelia talks with the lovely and gracious Kanesha Allison.

Kanesha and her five siblings were taken into kinship care with her grandmother when she was a little girl until eventually reunited with her mom five years later,  but she was able to see her mom everyday and that made all the difference. Now as an adult and single mom, she has taken in her young nephew who needs special care — so it’s come full circle;  and she says he's helping her as much as she's helping him.

Kanesha works full-time and is also a full-time student majoring in Computer Information Systems, and as soon as she has some free time she wants to travel the world.
