Keenan Davis’ goal isn’t to graduate college and get a good job (though, both are on his to-do list, too); rather, this high school senior strives to “live as a contributor rather than a spectator, understand people's stories, and fight for equal access.” Recently featured as a speaker at TEDxFolsom—where his topic was “Skin Care is Health Care, Not Just a Luxury”—he shared inequities about skin cancer prevention and related the importance of sun protection and health care justice, regardless of a person’s gender, age, race, or background. When Davis isn’t busy with his various school clubs and community service commitments (Folsom Teen Council, FCUSD Student Advisory Board, the Student Leadership Development Team at Lakeside Church, Black Student Union Ally, and Fine Arts & Media Club), he can be found baking and cooking for friends and family.
