Hardcore Grind Podcast w/Lissha S2EP5 "Kenni York"

In 2008, Kenni published her first book, Ask No Questions, under PublishAmerica
sparking a career that would soon open doors to other opportunities dear to her heart.
After releasing three more titles under this same company, she was inspired by a literary
mentor to tackle self-publishing. In 2012, she released her most popular book to date, The
Girls, which later (after several more self-published works) was picked up by the
mainstream publishing company, Urban Books. Later in 2012, Kenni founded Kenni
Enterprises, a literary firm that specializes in ghostwriting, editing, freelance magazine
articles, new author consultations, creative writing courses and more. It was her goal to
help other aspiring authors to get their stories in print. To date, Kenni has ghostwritten
and edited over forty titles for authors ranging in genre from poetry to urban fiction to
Christian fiction. Her literary accolades include the 2013 AAMBC Female Author of the
Year Award Nominee, 2013 National Association of Professional Women Inductee, 2013
Continental Who’s Who Award Recipient, 2014 and 2015 Who’s Who in Black Atlanta
Entrepreneurial Award, 2015 Literary Jewels Author of the Year Award, 2018 and 2019
ACHI Author of the Year Award Nominee and Entrepreneur of the Year Award Nominee,
2018 & 2019 ATL’s Hottest Author of the Year Award Nominee, and 2020 ATL’S Hottest
Film/TV Producer of the Year Award Nominee.
In 2013, Kenni decided to create a community service component for her rapidly growing
literary firm, Kenni Enterprises. As a sexual abuse survivor, Kenni felt obligated to create
an opportunity to not only educate her community about the growing epidemic but also to help victims or survivors find their voices and step out of the darkness. Hence the
creation of Let Your Voice Be Heard, an annual benefit event that raises funds for
organizations providing services and resources to survivors as well as providing talented
individuals with a platform to share their artistry for the sake of raising awareness. Since
its origins in 2013, Let Your Voice Be Heard has raised nearly $8,000 towards
funding resources and operating expenses of nonprofit organizations such as Day
League, Voice Today, and The Still Standing Foundation. Most importantly, survivors are
provided with a new outlet in which to seek the assistance and compassion that they need.
With these accomplishments, Kenni’s grassroots initiative is continually building upon its
success in increasing community awareness.
