Executive Director

Greetings! I'm Dr Candice Cox, Executive Director and Founder of KHAOS Inc. [formerly Charlotte's Community Outreach Inc.]. I grew up right here in St Louis and from the beginning I was a KHAOS Kid! I started my educational journey in the Mehlville School District, received my BSW from SEMO, MSW in Social Work from SLU, and honorary doctorate from Harvest Christian University! Oh, did I mention that I'm a Delta girl too. I created the KHAOS mindset to show myself as well as others that you are more than your circumstances and what has happened to you. My passion for people drives me to continuously push myself to give of my best self as an encouragement for others to do the same daily. When I'm not managing being a mom and running 2 businesses, you can find me in the gym shredding this body up [I am determined to get these abs]. I love 90's R&B and can hang with some HipHop as well.

Kiesha Thomas

Director of Community Development

Hi I'm Kiesha, the Director of Community Development here at KHAOS Inc. I'm a Parkway West High School alumni, mother, & wife with an amazing family unit. I started my journey in the healthcare field in 2012 as the DOO of a startup psychotherapy company & branched over to the nonprofit sector in a startup in 2016 as the Volunteer/Intern Coordinator. I have an educational background in sociology & psychology, Google certified Project Management, and healthcare management & data analytics from WGU. I had the opportunity to see people incoming at their worst & then witnessed them be supported so deeply that they were able to begin their mental health healing process to start living in their purpose. [This was one of the greatest sights in the world]. Since that time, I have started & owned a childcare center for 4 years, leveraged my ability to build meaningful relationships, & focused on building myself up to what I wanted to be & my best self. In the meantime & in between time, you would be likely to find me snuggled under a blanket, watching a good movie, with a Redbull or some type of mixed concoction and some fried wings...well done and all flats preferred. 90's R&B music is a vibe and premium love language but when cooking those big family meals...it's the old school jams that MUST be played [it's just something about the OJay's, Anita Baker, & Luther that just makes you put your foot in some food. If you hadn't guessed by now...I'm also a foodie]. I will definitely take a touch of the other 4 love languages too and am not opposed to swapping out recipes that peak my interest.
