In this Karamo Show episode, three women—Shanique, Tasha, and Ny'Kesha—reunite to resolve a decades‑long mystery about their parentage and sibling relationships. Each shares traumatic childhood experiences: Shanique recounts being kidnapped by her father at age one, Tasha describes an abusive father who disappeared when she was five, and Ny'Kesha admits never meeting her father. The women also discuss their mother’s relentless search for them, including a voicemail from Shalonda Cornish claiming her children were stolen by Raymond Davis. Tasha facilitated a search that led to Shanique’s contact via a 411 listing, while Ny'Kesha’s mother had been searching for years. The episode builds tension around a DNA test that will confirm whether the three are biological sisters. When the results are revealed, the host announces that Shanique and Ny'Kesha are indeed full biological sisters, confirming Tasha’s belief. The women react emotionally—crying, expressing relief, and promising to rebuild family connections, including future visits to Mississippi. The host frames the moment as a step toward lowering the emotional “shields” each had built from childhood trauma, emphasizing protection, reconciliation, and the power of truth. The episode ends with gratitude, a call for viewers to subscribe, and a reminder of the show’s focus on family drama and DNA revelations.
Chapters
At the age of 1, I was kidnapped by my father.
So my dad was a very abusive person, and at the age of 5, he ended up leaving and disappearing out of my life.
I never met my father.
From what I heard, my mom never looked for me.
My mom took us to another city because my father threatened to kidnap me.
Shanika and I share the same mother. And after she was taken, we never stopped looking for her.
At the age of 30, I finally met my family, and I've been giving them time, but it seems like they haven't been giving it back.
So I've tried to have a relationship with my sister, Ny'Kesha, but unfortunately, she doesn't believe that we're sisters.
I'm not sure if Tasha is my sister, and I'm not sure if Shanique is my full-blooded sister.
Ny'Kesha feels that our father may not be her father, but she also thinks he may not be mine, which is stealing my identity.
So I believe Ny'Kesha has some resentment towards Shanique because she was raised by our father.
I want to solve this DNA mystery before I allow anyone into my life.
My father was very abusive. I remember Shanique being born. And then I remember all of a sudden they just disappeared. They were gone.
Yeah.
And so, but I was raised with my stepfather and my mother. And my stepfather is my dad. And they did a great job.
Oh, that's good to hear. What happened to your, yeah. What happened to your biological father?
He ended up passing away in '96.
Okay. So needless to say, you're glad you weren't raised by him.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
My mom divorcing him and leaving him was the best decision she could have ever made.
And what did he tell you before he died?
He apologized. I forgave him. That was it. We just, we didn't get close or anything.
To be clear, you and Shanique have the same father but different mothers.
We have the same father, different mothers. Ny'Kesha and Shanique have the same father and same mother.
Okay.
Ny'Kesha doesn't believe that we have the same fathers.
Got it.
But I truly believe that we do.
All right, so do you think Ny'Kesha's jealous that Shanique was raised by their dad?
I think she, now I wouldn't use the word jealous, I would use the word resentful because she has said he's gone and she wished he was alive to be there that she would've been, that he could've did the test. And that she feels like she's missing that piece. And even though I told her that he was a bad man, that she didn't miss out on anything. But that's like someone watching a, you'd say, oh, I've seen this movie, it was horrible, right? You shouldn't even waste your money to go see the movie. You still wanna see the movie for yourself, right? And I think that's where Ny'Kesha is like, she still would love to have, had the opportunity to be able to experience meeting him, getting to know him.
Well, Tasha, are you ready to meet your potential sister, Nakeisha, for the first time? All right. And for the record, you two have never met, so this will be the first time you're meeting. Everyone, please welcome Nakeisha to the show.
Can I give her a hug?
Of course you can.
Of course you can.
I can't believe it.
I can't believe this is real.
But my life, it was difficult. And I need to know, are y'all my siblings? That's it.
My producers told me you got emotional backstage when Tascha talked about the trauma she had with her father. But what made you emotional?
Because there was a lot of things in my life where I was violated too.
Poor babies. I'm so sorry.
Come on.
And I feel bad 'cause if I was there to help try to protect you. I'm a protector.
Wow.
And to know that you experienced that life, but you would've done it, had the same one with him too.
It's like— And so for me hearing that, that my sister went through the same thing, it's very hard to hear.
Our father never even claimed, he would always tell me that Ny'Kesha wasn't his. And I never believed, I was, you know, I always said, felt that she was.
In the back of my mind, I'm like, okay, you took one child, I'm in the house, you not take the other child. So in the back of my mind, I wasn't his.
Yeah. So did you know that you had other sisters out there while growing up?
I knew I had Shanique. My mom has always, her birthday, she has always mentioned her. She has always talked about her. She has always looked for Shanique. She called me and she said, "I think I found your sister." She was like, "Here's the number." And I was like, "How did you find her?" She was like, "One of her friends helped her get on there and search." I called her, her voicemail answered. I was like, "I don't know if this is Shanique. This is Ny'Kesha Davis, and if Raymond Davis is your father, you're my sister." And that's the way we found each other. I think within an hour or two, she called me back. And we just begin to talk and it was just a wonderful day for me to find her.
So your mother is the one that set that in motion.
Well, let me give you the backstory on that. Shanique, when she moved to California and lived with me, I had got married and so she moved into her own place. I worked for the phone company, I helped her set up her phone and she was gonna unlist her number and I said, "No, list it because your mom may look for you." This is when 411 was very popular, right? And so, I said, list your number, your mom may be out there. Look, you've been looking for her, she may be out there looking for you. And so one day I got a call and she says, guess what? I got a voicemail, they left me my mom. My mom is, she found me. And I was so excited.
Yes, oh wow.
So excited. She found her number through 411.
Look at that.
I said, see, that's why I told you to list it. For me though, I had offered, And I don't know if you remember this, Ny'Kesha, but I had offered your mom to pay for her to fly down to see her.
Mom, don't fly.
And she didn't fly.
So I said you could have put her on the bus.
No, forget it.
She ain't gonna fly.
It's time to meet Shanique. So everyone, please welcome Shanique to the show. How was your childhood being raised by your dad?
Just say this. I was dealt a bad hand of cards both ways. But it's OK because I played that hand like it was the best hand ever. And I'm on top.
So I want to know from your perspective. I heard— I heard Nakeisha say that they searched for you, your mom searched. Do you think that they searched for you?
Like I said, going back to that day when my mom never showed up, I think that's when my heart just broke into a million thousand pieces and I never got it back. And at that point it's like I built a shield and I think it affected me as a child and everything that I even went through. I said I wasn't gonna cry. I was trying not to cry. Y'all started crying. I watched y'all backstage and now I'm crying.
Tell your truth. It's okay.
When I was little, I was acting up really, really bad. I was full of anger.
Yeah.
Nobody stopped and said and tried to figure out what was wrong or why I was doing this or why I was doing it. And I think I told Jamie, the producer, I said it took one person One person, she was a substitute teacher. And I think I was acting up real bad that day. I was throwing chairs, I was throwing tables, everything. And they took my library time away. And I used to love to go to the library. So they took my library time away from me. And so I was just crying and crying and crying. And she lifted me up. She set me in her lap and she made me look at her. It took me a very long time before I could look at people. I still don't really look at people in their face, in their eyes. She made me look her in her face and she said, I see you. She said, I know you going through something, but I don't know what it is. But she said, you're gonna be okay. She said, you are smart, intelligent, and I could see it. And when I say from then on, nobody could take my light away from me. School was my safe haven.
Why do you call your mom that lady though?
She wasn't in my life. And I feel that that day when she went to our brother's mom house, she should've kicked that door in. If she felt that I was there, you should've kicked that door in. That's true.
And got me.
Or the police.
Or somebody. That's just why. It's not no disrespect, but that's just how I feel.
Feel about it.
Yeah, well, we have a voicemail from Shalonda. That's your mother, correct? Because we know she doesn't fly like you said. We're gonna hear right now. So let's hear what she had to say.
Hi, my name is Shalonda Cornish and I am not Keisha and Shanique Davis's mom. Raymond Davis stole my child September 10th, 1979. And ran away with her. Couldn't find her, look for her. He went join the Army. The Army wouldn't tell me nothing about him or where my child was. I looked for my child for years. Every birthday I said birthday wishes to Shanique.
What was your response to that, hearing that?
It's okay.
'Cause it sounds like you weren't forgotten.
Never forgotten.
I just wish that now that she would call me and tell me that now, 'cause I'm here, she doesn't do it now. She doesn't call and tell me now, so it makes me feel like I'm still missing, 'cause you don't talk to me, you don't reach out to me, you don't call me on my birthday. I feel like I was your firstborn. The moment that the time hit, if I was born at 12:59, you should be dialing that phone.
Well, I wanna know from you, what will happen once the results are read? If these are your siblings, if this is your father?
I'm the one, it's me.
I know.
It's me that is waiting for the results.
Graduating. And another thing, like Nikesha says, that, you know, she thinks that our father may not be her father. And it's just like, okay, wait a minute, hold up, you speaking that into the atmosphere. Don't do that. I'm a strong believer, don't do that, because this man is my father, you know.
Well, Tasha, you're the one who wanted to solve this DNA mystery. Are you ready?
For the results.
And this is the DNA truth. And this is your truth to read, not mine. So if you could read it out loud.
Y'all ready? Shanique and Ny'Kesha are your biological sisters. Oh, Lord, thank you. I told you.
I knew it in my heart.
I told you, I told you.
Yeah, I did. Yeah. No more doubting. No more.
Don't you ever say you're not my sister again. And I'm the oldest.
Big sister says she's spoken. Big sister says she has spoken.
Oh, thank you so much.
You're welcome.
You're so welcome. You're so welcome. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.
Lakeisha, how are you feeling right now?
I waited so long just as a child, just sitting in the room, wondering what my siblings were. And I can now I can say I can open up and allow you to live my life all I want. And Shalika, I promise you that I would start calling more and driving to Mississippi. Mississippi, 'cause I'm not far from you.
And now you know.
And we'll start taking family trips to come to Mississippi.
And now you know we not half, we full, right?
Yes, and I got something that belongs to me.
What you just did was the biggest steps you could take and were the advice that I would give you because each of you rightfully so, except for you, had your shield up in some way. You had your guard up, you had a childhood full of trauma and put a lot of misinformation that made you fear and doubt everything that was around. And here now you have an answer that can give you the first step to say it's time for the shield to come down. You know, one of the first things Tasha said was, if I was there, I would've protected you. She said that, she said, I'm a protector. But now you all know that you all have, are really sisters that can protect each other. This is your first step. I wish y'all the best of luck, and I'm so happy y'all got answers.
Thank you so much.
You're so welcome, you're so welcome.
I knew you would do it.
I'm happy I could be a part of this, I really am. Thank you everyone for being with us. Make sure to come back next time, friends, so we can keep talking and growing. I love you all.
