About Kenahyi
When you meet Kenahyi, who goes by Kai, you’re likely to be greeted with a respectful “yes ma’am” or “no ma’am,” a small gesture that shows just how thoughtful and well-mannered he can be. Kai has a caring nature that shines brightest when someone around him is upset; he doesn’t just notice, he acts, making sure others are okay. That kind of empathy is just part of who he is, fun-loving, loyal, and always himself. Kai feels most at home when he's surrounded by friends, whether they’re cracking jokes, sharing humor that makes them laugh until they can’t breathe, or playing basketball at the parl. Basketball is something he hopes to do more of, maybe even join a team one day, but for now, he enjoys shooting hoops just for fun. On weekends or after school, you’ll usually find him gaming on various consoles, lost in the excitement of video games or just hanging out with his crew. Talking, laughing, and competing, it’s in those everyday moments where Kai feels most connected. Though school isn’t his favorite place, Kai still finds ways to express himself, especially through his biggest passion: rapping. It’s something he’s proud of, and he dreams of turning that passion into a future as a rapper. He’s got the creativity and confidence to make his voice heard, and that sense of pride in his music is something that pushes him forward. His favorite foods, pizza and apples, are simple comforts, just like the color red or the quiet company of a cat. Halloween is his favorite holiday, not just for the costumes and candy, but for the fun of spending time with friends, doing what he enjoys most, just being with people who get him.
When a person close to him was asked to describe Kai, they said, “He’s caring. You can’t ever be upset or crying around him or he will make sure you’re okay. He’s not afraid to speak on how he feels about things.”
Kai would do best in a home with two parents who are experienced. Kai could be in a home with or without other children. Kai would like to live in the city, if possible. He speaks his mind and wants others to really see who he is beneath the surface. With the right people around him, those who value connection, fun, and keeping things real, Kai would thrive in a family that does the “normal stuff” together: talking, laughing, maybe even playing basketball in the driveway or watching a game on TV. Underneath it all, Kai is a kid with heart, humor, and a voice that’s ready to be heard. All he needs is a place—and people—where he can truly be himself.
