In this episode, we sit down with Mikisha Plesco, Founder and CEO of Cultivating Futures and a passionate advocate for the young people and families of West Michigan. Mikisha shares how her own journey led her to create Cultivating Futures, an organization dedicated to helping youth build confidence, develop meaningful life skills, and access the support systems they need to thrive.

She talks about how mentorship, stability, and community-centered programming can change the trajectory of a young person’s life — and why investing in families today strengthens the entire community tomorrow. Through innovative partnerships, hands-on coaching, and a deep belief in the potential of every child, Mikisha and her team are creating pathways to hope, opportunity, and long-term success.

By blending her lived experience with a heart for service, Mikisha is transforming what support looks like for youth in West Michigan and inspiring others to step in, show up, and help cultivate brighter futures.
