First Coast Connect

A family survives the scars of child abuse

On Tuesday’s First Coast Connect, we meet a mother who successfully reunited with her eight children after losing them — twice — to foster care. Keyonna shares her story alongside Lesley Wells, CEO of Daniel and a child abuse expert.

Then, Surviving to Thriving: We preview the annual event in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month with Teresa Miles, executive director of the Women’s Center of Jacksonville.

And Hastings rekindles its annual Cabbage and Potato Festival — this time with bacon!

Guests:

  • Jena Davis, board chair, Hastings Main Street.
  • Chef Ellie Schultze, chef/owner, Vilano Main Street Diner and Chez L’Amour.
