Ke’Aunte Tynette Harris

Ke’Aunte Tynette born 1986 in Massillon Ohio grew up in a 2 parent home with 3 brothers. As a little girl Ke’Aunte was shy,quiet but had alot of friends. She was the little girly girl yet loved playing sports,riding bikes all around the neighborhood ,dancing and singing. Ke’Aunte was a very good student that always made the honor roll.

In the fall of 2006,Ke’Aunte left home to attend Wright State University in Dayton Ohio to pursue her career as an Early Childhood Educator. After 3 1/2 years Ke’Aunte was so close to getting her associates degree until she had to drop out because of financial reasons. Ke’Aunte refused to move back home. She started working as a preschool day care teacher. she enjoyed living on her own. Staying in Dayton until 2012 had it’s good and bad times. She lived with her boyfriend for 7yrs. Things didn’t turn out as planned so she moved home to Massillon.

Living rent free for a few months was great. Ke’Aunte started working as a  preschool teacher at the Massillon YMCA and started online classes to obtain her associates degree.

As years went by everything was going great until she met a man. During this time Ke’Aunte went through some difficult situations. Depression,isolating herself, drinking more and overdosing on medication to ease her pain.She hid her pain very well. She was known for always smiling and laughing. Overdosing on medication was the scariest moment of Ke’Aunte’s life.That day when Ke’Aunte woke up she said enough is enough and started writng letters to God to uplift her. Ke’Aunte has always been a writer but at this time in her life she needed to trust God more than ever. The letters she wrote were very deep and detailed.

While working at the Massillon YMCA  afterschool program,the girls would always  ask questions and were so thankful that Ke’Aunte would just listen to their stories.One student mentioned that she wish there was a group she could be apart of to talk about girl things.

That night Ke’Aunte went home to do some research. She stayed up searching for an all girl group in the area but couldn’t really find what the girls were looking for.That night BeYoutiful Weirdo LLC Mentoring Program was created. Ke’Aunte knew exactly what the girls were going through and could share her stories to inspire the young girls. This was part of the healing process.

BeYoutiful Weirdo LLC Mentoring Program began in 2015 but became an LLC April 15,2016.
