Kenni York, MS, APC

Founder & Executive Director

At the age of 14 Kenni was molested by her father. Over the years she has harbored the same emotional and mental anguish as most sexual abuse victims feeling as if her worth was lessened by the cruel act that tarnished her innocence. That was until she realized the power of her testimony. In 2013 Kenni organized the first Let Your Voice Be Heard Sexual Assault Awareness event and later incorporated The Let Your Voice Be Heard Foundation, Inc.

With a deep commitment to advocacy, Kenni works tirelessly to raise awareness about sexual violence, providing resources and support to those affected. She has been featured on national and local broadcasts such as TBN's In Our Town, WATC TV's Atlanta Live, PEOPLE TV's The Nikhol Jackson Show, as well as periodicals such as Glamour Magazine, Urban Image Magazine, Luxe Factor Magazine, and the international magazine Emerge. Her spiels of empowerment, overcoming, and creating a legacy while walking in your destiny have been heard over airwaves via shows like Let's Talk America with Shana Thornton, Conversations Live with Cyrus Webb, IBNX's Live Life in the Purple with MLuv, Empowering You Now Radio, Fire 91.8's Indastreets with Tina B, and a plethora of other syndicated, live streaming, and Blogtalk radio programs. Kenni has given formal and informal addresses for various organizations including Distinctive Reflections, Dream Out Loud 2000, Create Your Dreams Youth Organization, and the Warren Street Boys and Girls Club just to name a few.

Kenni holds a BS in psychology, a MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, certification as a Sexual Abuse Advocate via Georgia's Darkness to Light's Stewards of Children training program, and a certificate in Health-Care and Gender-based Violence.
