FAITH & PERSEVERANCE

Keisha Boles grew up in Farmersville, Texas, until her
family moved to McKinney as a freshman. After

graduating high school, she received a basketball
scholarship to Collin College, where she studied at

the McKinney campus and played basketball in
Plano until life got in the way. Keisha gave birth to

her oldest daughter, C'ne, when she was only 16. She
had her second daughter, Tyana, when she was 21
and her son Jamal, at 22.

Keisha has a deep faith in God which has kept her grounded, and she has been a
believer since she was 15 and pregnant. Her life experiences developed and shaped

her faith, which is why she has survived and flourished. One interesting fact is that
Cotton Groves is on the same street in McKinney where Keisha grew up. Keisha has

been a receptionist at Baybrooke Village Care and Rehabilitation Center in McKinney
since 2016. Keisha’s son Jamal Boles will be co-owner of the home in Cotton Groves. In
addition to multiple sports injuries, Jamal experienced and survived two brain tumors

after his freshman year in 2017. After surgery and many days in the hospital, losing 50
pounds, it was determined that by the grace of God, the tumors were not cancer, and

he would be able to live everyday life.
