An independent publisher for families like ours

Stories Built
Out of Love

Keke Publishing is named for my brother — the man who never left, and who built an entire story world for three children who needed magic when the real world was too hard. That world is becoming our first published series. Alongside it, a shelf of books and tools I've vetted myself.

Our Story

The man this publisher is named for.

Keke Publishing is named for the man who showed me what it means to show up — and built to be that for every parent still in the fight.

This isn't just a website. This is a promise.

It started when my son was five years old. A kindergarten teacher called to tell me my son had been made to sit in a corner facing a wall — punished for behavior she didn't understand and made no effort to. He was five. He had autism. And the system's first response was to punish him for it.

That phone call was the beginning of a years-long fight I didn't know I was signing up for. Meeting after meeting. Services that kept increasing. Nothing truly changing.

I had two baby girls at home — one and three years old. A husband who told me he couldn't handle his son's diagnosis and walked away. And a system that kept scheduling IEP meetings, adding services on paper, and delivering almost nothing in reality. Year after year, I sat at those tables not fully understanding what I was entitled to ask for, what my son was protected by, or what I could do when the school failed him.

By fourth grade, a teacher openly told the IEP team she didn't like my son's plan and refused to follow it. That was a violation of federal law. She was suspended for two days. And while that felt like a small consequence for something so serious, it cracked a door open — it gave my son access to a therapeutic school placement that finally, truly changed the course of his life.

But before that door opened, my nine-year-old son spent ten days hospitalized. He had articulated a well-crafted plan to end his life. He was nine years old.

“I needed one person who would stay. My brother Keke stayed.”

Through all of it — the meetings, the hospitalizations, the grief of watching the system fail your child over and over — my brother stood next to me every single minute. Not with opinions. Not with judgment. Just present. Just there. When my husband walked away, Keke stayed. He is my brother. My ride or die. The reason this brand carries his name.

After my son's placement changed everything, I found a nonprofit that trained parents as special education advocates. I completed 50 hours of pro bono work and discovered a passion I never knew I had. I made it my absolute business to understand every right I had as a parent and every legal protection guaranteed to my child.

“My son is 31 years old now. He made it. We made it.”

And my brother Keke — the man who never left — spent those years building something else entirely. He created a story world for my son and his sisters. Characters. Adventures. An entire universe built out of love for three children who needed magic when the real world was too hard. That story world is becoming a published character series. Coming soon to this site. Under the name he always deserved to see in print.

Our Mission

No parent should ever feel as helpless and alone as I did. Keke Publishing exists to make sure you find the right stories, the right tools, and never have to fight for your child without someone in your corner.

If you are sitting at an IEP table right now not knowing your rights — we built this for you. If your child is being misunderstood, mislabeled, or mistreated — we built this for you. If you feel alone in this fight — you are not. We have been exactly where you are, and we came back to leave the door open.
