Summer of Empowerment and Expression
Kaiesha D. Ford is staying true to her mission of service and impact this summer with two powerful events designed to uplift voices and build community.
In July 2025, Kaiesha, as co-founder of The Empowerment Approach, will launch the first-ever summer creative writing workshop for middle school students through the Developing Voices Mentoring Program. This initiative, which combines emotional wellness with creative writing, offers a safe, supportive space for young minds to explore their feelings, find their voices, and express themselves through writing. It’s a program rooted in healing, identity, and self-expression. To learn more, visit https://tealegacy.org/events.
Then in August 2025, Kaiesha will join NSpire U!’s Sisters for Life Health and Wellness Expo as co-host of the Mobile Book Festival’s Author Corner. This unique platform celebrates and showcases the work of Black female authors. It’s more than a book fair—it’s a space of connection, culture, and creativity. Kaiesha’s vision is to give Black women writers the space to share their narratives, meet readers, and inspire others with the power of their stories.
