Kenya Harrison, Kurly & Konscious Creator

Hello my name is Lakenya Harrison but everyone calls me Kenya. I was born and raised in Camden, SC. I am the mother of two perfectly imperfect humans, Idris and Lyric. I am the oldest of four siblings. Spiritually I identify as a believer and the daughter of the most High God. Professionally, I work as a Data Analyst for PSE&G in New Jersey, where my children and I currently reside. I am also the creator of a brand called Kurly & Konscious LLC, a social media platform that promotes conscious living by healing, loving and investing in the well being of YOU. I strongly believe in the power of community and its ability to provide others with endless possibilities. I truly enjoy giving back and count it as a blessing and an honor to sow seeds of appreciation and support amongst my community.

I love adventure, and I live for experiences. So, in my spare time you can find me catching a flight, feasting on a new dish, drinking some sort of fancy overpriced cocktail while laughing until my cheeks hurt. I am obsessed with music so if you ever see me walking with somewhat of a glide or bounce just know I’m listening to the soundtrack of my life in my head😁

My goal in life is to inspire this generation of women and every generation after to live a life that fosters authenticity, accountability, acceptance and awareness for yourself as well as others. I truly believe in the power of ME , MYSELF and I and encourage every woman to put herself first.
