Meet our Founders
Ronni DuBois – Founder and President
Ronni DuBois is the passionate founder of JKK Inheritance Haven, a calling that emerged from years of personal and professional experiences with survivors of human trafficking and exploitation. A graduate of the College of the Ozarks with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, Ronni dedicated 28 years to serving as a Probation and Parole Case Worker for the State of Missouri. During her career, she encountered the long-term effects of trauma and exploitation, which deepened her resolve to create a haven for young girls in need.
Ronni’s vision for JKK Inheritance Haven was inspired by her faith and the story of Job’s daughters, who were given an inheritance in a time when it was uncommon. Her commitment to restoring dignity and healing to survivors is reflected in every aspect of JKK’s programs. Beyond her professional endeavors, Ronni is a devoted mother, baker, and advocate for her community.
