She’s Helping Someone Start Over
By Carrie Vittitoe We featured Kena Young in the print magazine in December, but wanted to share a more detailed story of how she supports people in need. Sometimes the best ideas seem to rise out of thin air. Maybe they are divinely inspired or an idea you read or heard about long ago that disappeared from your consciousness but has been marinating in the recesses of your mind. Whatever and wherever their origins, the best ideas generally take hard work to come to fruition. Kena Young is putting the hard work behind her idea [...]
