In 2022, The MNK Legacy Project was founded to continue the legacy of Makenna Karmie by five deeply-impacted friends. Our goal: to further Makenna’s active love and transformative presence by partnering with communities and people nationwide.
We each knew Makenna in different ways, and we’re united in the exciting mission of continuing her legacy.
