Finding Power Through Creativity & Community: An Interview with Keiko Ratcliffe

Welcome to the first episode of Season 5!

Join us as we speak with Keiko Ratcliffe, founder and CEO of Skye's the Limit! Foundation, an orginization that empowers youth and families through creativity and connection.

In 2014, Keiko lost her daughter, Skye, to a drug overdose. The devastating loss turned her world upside down, but even then, Keiko knew she would somehow use Skye's story to help others. In 2019, Keiko founded the Skye's the Limit! Foundation with a mission to prevent trauma-related loss by strengthening resilience and mental wellness for youth, families, and communities. As Keiko has continued to learn about neuroscience and the effects of trauma, she's better learned how to equip young people with tools that help them cope, regulate emotion, recover from stress, and ask for help when needed—protective factors proven to reduce substance use, overdose, and suicide.

Currently, Keiko is designing curriculum to take into schools. Blending art, music, somatic practices, and experiences in nature, she's curating the very activities Skye held dear.
