Healing After Pain

Dr. Danisha Keating is a boot-strap girl who knows what it means to have grit, find purpose and make a name for herself. She is a public speaker and author of two bestselling books, “Taking My Voice Back” and “From Foster to PhD.” As a former foster youth, she found herself at a crossroad: continue what others around her were doing or take a chance on her future. She decided that education was the way to go. At 24, she became the guardian of five siblings. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology, a master’s degree in leadership and organizational studies and a Ph.D. in psychology. She also has a background in trauma-informed practices and foster care. She believes in empowering others to find their purpose, on purpose and to get back into the ring. Keating has been featured in Women’s Journal, Wall Street Times, KFrog and other publications.
