I’m Kes (pronounced Cash), and Kesformation Academy was born from my battles. I’ve faced abuse in nearly every form — sibling, emotional, workplace, physical, and mental. I felt every ounce of the pain, but I made a choice — I wouldn’t let it define me or break me. God kept me strong.

I was pregnant, starving, and stuck on bedrest. Saturday after Saturday, my mother’s other daughter, Lucifera, would show up, and like clockwork, my mom would run out the door with her. Not once did they think about me lying there, helpless. Sometimes, my mom didn’t even remember to leave food for me. I wasn’t supposed to be on my feet, but I had no choice but to struggle to feed myself while they went off to enjoy their day for several hours.

Yes, this is neglect. Yes, this was emotional abuse. My needs were ignored. Just imagine being on bedrest at 7 months pregnant and going to bed hungry! I felt abandoned. I didn’t matter. How could they not see the harm they were causing? It wasn’t just about the food — it was the blatant disregard for me as a person, as their family.

God saw it all, though. He sees what people do when they think no one’s watching. And even though it hurt like hell, I know I’ll never treat anyone the way they treated me.

I’ve fought against “Karens” who multiplied when I stood up for myself, against other women who resented me for unintentionally standing out, and against toxic workplaces where sexual harassment was normalized.

At a global logistics company where they drive brown trucks, I was wrongfully terminated for defending myself. A supervisor even told me to my face that being an attractive woman in a male-dominated space made harassment my problem to deal with. That didn’t silence me — it fueled me.

I’ve been fighting my whole life — not with fists, but with my mind, my faith, and my resilience. Through every battle, God whispered, Keep going — I have a purpose for you. That purpose is Kesformation.

I created this academy to share what I’ve learned, to help you survive and thrive in a world that can be cold and cruel. Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s survival. My pain became my power, and now I use it to guide you toward your own transformation. If I can rise above the abuse, the hate, and the struggles, so can you. And I’ll be here to make sure you do.

After relocating to Atlanta, GA from Philadelphia, PA in 2014, my life expanded in ways I didn’t expect. Atlanta introduced me to community, spirituality, holistic living, and people who valued growth, nature, and emotional intelligence. It was where I learned to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with myself.

That spiritual awakening brought clarity, peace, and the courage to release relationships rooted in jealousy, dysfunction, and limitation.

As I healed, I learned to channel my anger into wisdom, discipline, and self-mastery. I embraced holistic practices, self-care, and intentional living — not as trends, but as survival tools that evolved into a lifestyle. The result was transformation. Confidence returned. Joy returned. I began to glow — grounded, calm, and powerful.

Kesformation was born from that evolution.

This academy is not theory. It is a lived experience. It is self-love earned the hard way. It is truth, structure, spirituality, psychology, and real-life tools blended together — shared with honesty, humanity, and stories that remind you that growth doesn’t require perfection. It requires courage. I’m human too. And if my story can help someone else heal, rise, or reclaim themselves — then it deserves to be shared.

✨ My Story

I became a mother at 20 under painful circumstances. I was abandoned while pregnant by someone I later learned was struggling with addiction — a truth that didn’t surface until years after. With no support and no child support, I relied on welfare to feed my son. What carried me through that season was my faith in God and the joy and purpose I found in raising a beautiful baby boy.

At the same time, I was navigating deep emotional wounds within my own family. I experienced ongoing emotional and mental abuse from a sibling, while other family dynamics enabled that behavior. I lived for years in survival mode — disconnected from myself, my spirituality, and my sense of peace.

Everything shifted after my mother passed. That loss awakened something in me. It forced me inward. I began to question my life, my pain, and my purpose.

In later years, still operating without guidance and focused on providing for my son, I made choices rooted in survival rather than alignment. Yet even then, people consistently came to me for advice, clarity, and perspective — encouraging me to teach, guide, and coach long before I believed it was my calling.

I eventually returned to school and reclaimed my power through education. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Business, a certificate in Marketing, a Master’s degree in Psychology, and I am currently completing my Doctorate in Education. Knowledge gave me structure; healing gave me freedom.
