Meet Our New Contributing Writer 💛
Hi Macaroni KID Families!
My name is Kayshaun Brooks, and I am so excited to be joining the Macaroni KID community as a contributing writer. I’m a mom of four—Wisdom (24), Zion (22), Faith (17), and Temple (15). I’ve been living in the Central Valley for over 26 years after growing up in Oakland, California.
Like many of you, I understand firsthand how busy, rewarding, and sometimes overwhelming family life can be. Between work, school, activities, and trying to make time for ourselves, it can feel like there’s never enough time in the day. That’s why I’m so passionate about creating and sharing resources that help families not just get through the day but truly thrive.
With over 20 years of experience in the medical field and my own personal journey navigating sensitive skin, chronic pain and healing, I’ve learned how important it is to take care of ourselves while caring for others. As a mom, I know that when we feel supported, informed, and connected, it creates a ripple effect throughout our entire household.
What You Can Expect
Through my articles, I’ll be sharing a mix of:
- Family-friendly local events and activities
- Simple skincare, wellness tips for busy parents and kids
- Community programs and resources you may not know about
- Ideas for creating meaningful moments with your family
- Holistic approaches to supporting your family’s overall well-being
I’m especially passionate about helping families discover ways to incorporate self-care, connection, and balance into their everyday lives without it feeling overwhelming.
I also love highlighting local businesses, organizations, and events that are making a difference right here in our community. There are so many hidden gems in the Central Valley, and I’m excited to help you discover them.
Most importantly, I want this to feel like a conversation. A space where you can find helpful information, feel encouraged, and know that you’re not alone in your journey as a parent.
Thank you for welcoming me into your community. I’m looking forward to sharing, learning, and growing together with you and your families.
