In this episode of The Skin Deep Podcast, host Shanelle Dupree sits down with Kenisha Coon, a child welfare consultant, equity leader, and soon to be Ph.D., who brings both personal and professional insight to transforming the child welfare system. Kenisha shares her powerful story of growing up in an abusive household under CPS supervision but never being removed.  This lived experience has shaped her passion for system reform.
