Kemora in 3 words: Trusting, Unexpected, Calm


Kemora is a dedicated senior at South Side High School with a strong interest in math and a clear vision for her future. She is exploring career paths in real estate, hairstyling, and the culinary field as a chef, reflecting her versatility and creativity.

The most inspiring figures in Kemora’s life are her mother and God, who guide and motivate her to stay true to her values. She also credits her fifth-grade teacher as an influential figure, someone who helped shape her confidence and growth during her early years.

Describing herself as trusting, unexpected, and calm, Kemora values standing apart and not being like everyone else. She sees individuality as a strength both in herself and in her community. She admires how the Jackson community comes together to share ideas when facing challenges, though she also recognizes the ongoing need to ensure those ideas turn into action.

After high school, Kemora plans to attend college full time while working part time, building the foundation for her future success. She knows her biggest challenge will be balancing these responsibilities while pursuing her goals of independence and achievement.

As a behind-the-scenes coordinator, Kemora is ready to contribute her steady presence and organizational strengths to make a difference. With her determination, calm spirit, and drive to succeed, she is on a path to positively impact her community and build a successful future.


“I see my role as a behind-the-scenes coordinator—someone who helps make things happen, even if I’m not in the spotlight.”
