What can you learn from a trash bag? | Keri Richmond | TEDxKentState
Her story is one of overcoming adversity growing up in the Foster Care system.
Her advocacy has led her to Washington, D.C. where she conducted research about Foster Care policy. Her fortitude and self-motivation led her to share her findings with Members of Congress and the White House. Her name is Keri Richmond and she will explain why our worst experiences are the best catalyst for positive change.
Keri is a senior, public relations major at Kent State University and a voice for the voiceless. Facing early childhood adversity in the foster system, today, Keri has dedicated herself to being an advocate for this vulnerable population. Her advocacy has led her to Washington, D.C. where she conducted valuable research on the topic. She then went on to share her findings with Members of Congress and the White House Domestic Policy Council. Keri has an undeniable passion for helping current and future foster youth. After graduation, she hopes to pursue a career where she can continue to help others through policy reform or by working with a nonprofit.
