“Keiana Cavé, although a little younger than I am, is someone I look up to and highly (HIGHLY) respect. At the moment, I am still enrolled into CHE in college because I found her. Prior to knowing about her I was SERIOUSLY contemplating dropping out, but then something she said on Quora hit me. Kiki is a blessing to our generation and the only thing on my “bucket list” right now is to see her in person. Kiki, if you ever get to read this, just know this… I’ll make you proud. I promise.” ~Kizito
