TRIGGER WARNING: This episode contains discussions of child abuse, Shaken Baby Syndrome (Abusive Head Trauma), child loss, grief, trauma, and the impact of violence against children.

In this powerful and emotional episode of Life & In Between Podcast, host Diana Gonzalez-Lehboub sits down with Kaya Jackson, mother of Egypt Henderson, to share a story that will stay with you long after the conversation ends.

At just 17 months old, Egypt suffered a catastrophic brain injury after being violently abused. Though doctors feared she would not survive, Egypt fought for nine years, becoming a symbol of strength, resilience, and unconditional love. After her passing in 2024, Kaya transformed her grief into purpose by creating Justice for Shakin' Babies, a nonprofit dedicated to education, prevention, and advocacy.

Together, Diana and Kaya discuss:

Egypt's inspiring life and legacy
The realities of Shaken Baby Syndrome (Abusive Head Trauma)
Parenting education and caregiver support
Turning unimaginable grief into advocacy
Justice for Shakin' Babies nonprofit
Egypt's Law and efforts to strengthen child protection laws in South Carolina
How communities can raise awareness and help protect vulnerable children

This episode is not just about loss—it's about courage, purpose, and ensuring that Egypt's story continues to save lives. Through awareness, education, and legislative change, Kaya is fighting to create a future where fewer families endure the heartbreak she has experienced.

Egypt's life mattered. Her story matters. And her legacy continues to inspire change.
