Hailing from Aiken, South Carolina, Kena possesses an innate talent for fashion and has nurtured her aspirations of becoming a renowned fashion designer since her formative years. With an unwavering determination to excel in the industry, she embarked on a journey to Atlanta, Georgia, after completing high school to pursue her fashion career.
