Keywania was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and was baptized in the Name of Jesus at a young age at Home Mission Baptist Church in New Orleans, LA. Keywania was born on her Maternal Grandmother’s birthday whom she affectionately called “Momma”. Keywania graduated Top 10 of her senior class from John McDonogh Sr. High School (1994). She was a member of the Flag Team, Drama Club, and Upward Bound. Keywania met her husband (Steven D. Dinet, Jr.) her senior year in high school. They had three amazing sons from their union: Steven, III.(late), Justin, and Jason Dinet. Keywania went on to pursue her passion to become a Registered Nurse where she attended Delgado School of Nursing and Southern University at New Orleans. While pursuing her Nursing degree, Keywania worked for the City of New Orleans as a Senior Health Educator/Phlebotomist until 2005.
In August 2005, because of the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, Keywania and her family became residents of Jonesboro, Arkansas. Keywania came to love Jonesboro and so did her family. She made the decision to make it her permanent home and all the Mardi Gras, Second-lines, and good Gumbo couldn’t change her mind. She never met a stranger and Jonesboro welcomed her family with open arms. Keywania went back to work as a Phlebotomist/ Lab Technician with St. Bernard Regional Medical Center. She completed nursing classes at Arkansas State University until her health wouldn’t allow.
