Kenni York

Kenni is a 30-year old author, motivational speaker, and community activist. Her literary works include Ask No Questions (murder mystery), A Girl's Perspective (poetry), Merrilittle: Murder in a Small Town (young adult murder mystery, 1st in a series), Striving for Happily Ever After (marriage self-help), The Girls (Urban Fiction), My Dad is an Army Man (children's book) and the recently released Karma series (Contemporary Women's Fiction).

Passionate about her chosen field, Kenni created her own company in 2012, Kenni Enterprises LLC, which specializes in teaching creative writing classes for youth and adults throughout the metro Atlanta area. The company also facilitates workshops and seminars, spring and summer break writing camps/programs, and provides one on one tutorial sessions to help middle school children strengthen their writing skills in preparation for scholastic, writing based tests.

Kenni and her company are dedicated to active community involvement. Annually, Kenni hosts a youth book drive to promote summer reading among school aged children. Over time, this initiative has worked to provide several county recreation centers, daycares, children's hospitals, and children shelters with reading and educational materials for their youth. Additionally, Kenni organizes and hosts an annual benefit event during National Sexual Assault Awareness Month in April entitled Let Your Voice Be Heard. As a sexual assault survivor, Kenni feels it is important to get the word out about this growing epidemic in order to encourage men and women to raise their voices against this common and life-impacting crime.
