My name is Cynthia Yancey, and I founded KJ’s Genesis Inc. in honor of my incredible son, KJ. Born with multiple medical challenges and later diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, KJ transformed not only my life as a mother — but my entire purpose.

With over 20 years of experience as a Behavioral Specialist Consultant and Clinical Coordinator, I’ve worked to improve the lives of children with special needs. But nothing prepared me for the personal journey of raising a child on the spectrum.

KJ’s Genesis Inc. was born out of that deeply personal experience. Our mission is to educate, advocate, and partner with agencies and communities to create spaces where children like KJ can thrive — spaces that are sensory-conscious, welcoming, and empowering.
