In this week's episode, Tonny sits down with Cheyenne, the executive director of Jenni's Flowers. They discuss a variety of topics, including the foster care system, healthy coping mechanisms, attending university in California, and how healing from trauma can lead to the creation of beautiful things.
Cheyenne is a creative leader and multimedia artist, with talents ranging from filmmaking, producing, directing, editing, fashion, painting and design. As a transitional youth impacted by the foster care system, she is passionate about empowering other young adults with lived experience. Cheyenne is the Founder and Executive Director of Jenni's Flower, a non-profit organization that empowers transition-age foster youth to bloom their flowers by supporting them through their personal and professional development. Through Jenni's Flower, Cheyenne has created and maintained successful programs in 2023 such as the Foster Youth Flea Market, reaching over 50+ transition-age youth in just one year of operation. Cheyenne hopes to continue to fulfill her purpose of empowering others to heal and become self-sufficient through all avenues of her work and art.
We can end youth homelessness
Every year, one in ten young people between the ages of 18-25 experience homelessness in the United States. In order to end the experience of homelessness, our society need to embark on drastic change by prioritizing young voices and building systems that support the needs of young people.
