I really enjoyed working with Kennisha. A few years ago one of my students interviewed her on camera to learn about her profession and how she got started. She was and still is the ultimate professional. She was very kind, warm, and pleasant. She even volunteered to travel a VERY LONG distance to make this vision a reality. She represents excellence," says Tiffany Polite Henderson, owner of My Passion Breathes Life
