THEE KENYA LINTON
The Mission
Kenya is a serial Entrepreneur, Registered Nurse, Actress, Host, Co-author and dynamic Empowerment speaker with a mission to inspire, ignite and guide women across the globe who are ready to unveil their bona fide beings with a desire to live and walk in their full authenticity. Women who have an inner prompting that has awakened them to understand that there is more purpose for them in life. Women who desire to do more with their gifting and talents in the marketplace. Women who are grateful for God's provision but yet also know that they're not fully functioning in the capacity that they were created for. Lastly women who desire to fully walk in and fulfill their purpose.
The Speaker
With a gift of exhortation, it wasn't long that Kenya began to use that gift outside of her circle of loved ones who affectionately nicknamed her "their biggest cheerleader" to now platforms dedicated to empowering women.
Kenya's love for speaking was developed innately as a young girl. She astonished her elders, especially her late grandmother Mary Niblack with her advanced communication style; often being told she could hold deep and thoughtful conversations with adults at a very young age.
Kenya realized that formal training was imperative in an effort to attract, impact and positively influence her audience. Since investing in refining her gift of speech; Kenya has graced stages across the Tri-state. One of her favored Speeches "Molly You're in Labor Girl" speaks to the Painful Process of purpose has been the story of her personal pilgrimage she most often speaks to and has resonated greatly with her audience.
As a speaker Kenya aspires to affirm women who often wear so many hats and desire greater for themselves but feel stuck and have the philosophy that it's impossible to achieve because of their responsibilities. Kenya serves as vision for women that it's not only possible, but also attainable with a few small consistent changes. Her speaking style is upbeat, charismatic and downright comical. Not only will she leave you better than she found you; she'll leave you ready to soar!
The Nurse
A gift to nurture and bring comfort are some of Kenya's other essential qualities. With over 20 years’ experience as a baccalaureate prepared Registered Nurse, Kenya has developed a keen ability to triage an individual's verbal and non-verbal ques. This skillset of being an active listener and easy to talk to brings comfort and ease to her audience. Kenya brings her expertise as a nurturing, caring and relatable nurse to her clients and speaking platforms.
Kenya's nursing experience has been vast. She has a plethora of experience in Emergency Medicine, Rheumatology, Endocrinology, Urogynecology, Gynecology and Cardiology. Her roots were planted at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where she served the chronically ill pediatric population for 15 years. Ironically, she has now found herself serving in the area of women's health which has further ignited her love and passion for women's health, wealth and empowerment.
An admirable quality of Kenya's' is that she quickly develops a rapport with her patients, clients and audience in an effort to establish trust and comfortability.
This is established not only as a result of her pristine ability to actively listen to both verbal and nonverbal communication but also through her authentic and transparent nature. She also understands that one must trust their caregiver in order to promote true healing; physically, spiritually and emotionally.
You will realize that Kenya will often merge her experience as a nurse into her messages which creates a stimulating visual experience. Lastly, it is Kenya's vocation as a nurse that her patients understand the why behind their treatment course. She educates both her patients and audience in a way that it is digestible and influential to promote change.
The Entrepreneur
Kenya is the Co-Owner of the Clothing brand Hustling Spirit, LLC ™ and the merchandise Branding Company Forever Branded, LLC along with her husband Craig Linton. They've been in business since 2008.
The dynamic duo birthed Hustling Spirit with the vision of a high Fashion T-shirt brand comparable to mainstream but yet edifying God. The vision from God didn't come without adversity. They had big dreams but a budget that could only afford to retail silicone wristbands due to going through one of their lowest times financially. That didn't stop this tenacious couple who knew they'd heard from God, no matter what it looked like. They sold silicone wristbands until they were able to produce enough funds to launch their first collection of T-shirts in October 2012; the Genesis Collection.
Since the inception of their business, these two masterminds have consistently bobbed and weaved, focusing on new innovative ways to market and elevate their businesses which has allowed the brand to reach 47 of the 50 states nationally and 5 of the 7 continents globally.
The Hustling Spirit brand caught the attention of industry professionals and laymen alike. In 2016, Hustling Spirit was named the top Ready to Wear designer by the Producers of Atlantic City Fashion Week.
In 2019, they launched Project Elevation, which is a subdivision of their business that has now serviced hundreds of small businesses and organizations with customized branded merchandise. In 2020, they launched their Brand Ambassador Program which has provided opportunities for like-minded individuals in the community to discover their purpose and create impact and income using their platform.
In 2021, they were awarded the pioneer award for the longest-standing Faith-based fashion designers in the Tri-state area by the producers of Philadelphia Christian Fashion Week. Also, in 2021 they were the proud recipients of the Destiny award in the area of Kingdom Entrepreneurship by Joy Morgan Ministries.
Their love and passion for small business owners forged them to convert what was once Project Elevation into their third business Forever Branded which was established in 2023.
The Movement
Kenya has a heart and a passion for women especially those who have yet to embrace their true authenticity.
As a result of her own journey of self-discovery, and her mandate to remind women of their unparallel, unprecedented, uniqueness; the Thee Kenya Linton "TKL" Movement was birthed in Jan 2021.
The TKL movement's mission is to empower women on their own self-discovery journey to use their gifts and talents for impact and income.
The TKL Movement not only empowers women to own and value their uniqueness; but it creates a safe environment where they can connect with other like-minded women via the TKL Business & Purpose Networking Mixers. The TKL mixer's mission is to create vision, divine connections, empowerment and inspiration to those who yearn for a positive, uplifting networking experience. It also affords small business owners and entertainers in the Tri-state area the opportunity to showcase their gifts, talents, products, and services in a unique and entertaining way to the community. It's truly a day of hope, vision, inspiration and divine connections.
One of Kenya's superpowers is her ability to make connections wherever she goes. Growing up an only child, "making friends" was almost a daily exercise. She has a unique aptitude to facilitate collaborations and create opportunities of exposure and elevation for female entrepreneurs. Her network of connections is rich and vast as a result of over 16 years as an entrepreneur and 20 years of nursing. Kenya's mantra is "build a bridge that others can cross."
Kenya's heart is to ignite, inspire and empower individuals to passionately pursue their purpose. Transparently sharing her longevity of highs and lows in the marketplace.
Kenya's products and services include but are not limited to speaking and hosting engagements, acting, commercial and voiceover acting, empowerment apparel (TKL Collection), business & empowerment mixers

Whhewww where do I begin!! I attended the mixer for the first time earlier this year as a guest. The positive energy, the love, the worship, the praise, the prayers all at one networking event is something I have never experienced!!
This particular mixer I was back again, but this time as one of the Keynote Speakers. AGAIN, the atmosphere was filled with positive energy, love, worship, praise, prayers, unity, & sisterhood….the smile on my daughter’s face confirms it :-)
I’m not only grateful to have been in the room to create an impact as a speaker, but to just be in the room period. The shift in the atmosphere certainly shifted the hearts & minds of everyone who attended, including myself.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!
I’m ready for the next one!.
