Throughout her life, Kennedy has always been a creative girl. She fell into acting on accident when her art teacher suggested that she audition for the school play, to which she did not know what she was signing up for, but she did know every line in the movie Mean Girls. Since then, she is working towards developing her own Black girl coming of age stories that are far and few on screen.
