She grew up in a working-class, mixed-heritage household - British and Caribbean - in Andover. Kaycee was selected as Poetry Ambassador for Hampshire and Dorset in 2020, was a shortlisted poet for the Poetry London Mentoring Scheme, and was invited by The Young Poets Network to write a poem responding to Sir David Attenborough’s COP26 speech.
