Kenneisha actually made her acting debut as a radio personality in 2003! Since then, she has expanded beyond radio and appears in a plethora of film, television, and theatre productions. She's also voiced numerous anime and video game characters. Throughout her acting career, Kenneisha has worked with Debbie Allen, Irma P. Hall, William H. Macy, Rooney Mara, Brittany Snow, and Academy-Award Winner, Casey Affleck, to name a few. Gaming fans will recognize her as the voice of "Lady Aurelia Hammerlock" in the Borderlands series. You may remember her as a National Spokesperson for Long John Silver's and Eyemart Express. In 2015 Kenneisha was honored with Broadwayworld.com's Best Supporting Actress award for her role as "Dussie Mae" in a regional theater production of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

Despite her busy acting career, Kenneisha has a real passion for arts and education! She is a member of Actors' Equity Association and has volunteered with the StateraArts Program for women and non-binary people in the arts. She's taught acting and fine arts camps for several non-profit organizations and ministries, including The Potter's House Dallas (Bishop T.D. Jakes). In 2017 Kenneisha created her own inspirational coaching company, Christ & The Craft, with the goal of helping you stir your gift and "find your light."

A native of Arlington, TX, Kenneisha studied Broadcast Journalism at The Scripps-Howard School of Journalism and Communications at Hampton University, earning a BA in Journalism and Communications. When Kenneisha is not working, she loves relaxing with her Lovely and enjoying live theatre and TEDx Talks!
