Life has an unpredictable way of throwing obstacles in our path. For many, navigating these hurdles becomes a testament to their strength, resilience, and the power of transformation. One such story is that of Kenya Lee, RN, founder of Faith In Girls Inc. Her tale isn’t just one of personal triumph but of extending a helping hand to ensure others find their path too.
Born and raised in the bustling city of Detroit, Michigan, Kenya’s early life was marred by challenges typical to an urban childhood. Domestic violence, heartache, and the crippling pain of fetal maternal loss were some of the many battles she faced. Yet, rather than succumbing to these adversities, she harnessed them, transforming her pain into a powerful legacy that now serves as a beacon for countless other women.
Kenya’s career in nursing, spanning over two decades, has been primarily focused on public health nursing and mental health. Her extensive experience has afforded her a unique vantage point, allowing her to witness firsthand the emotional and mental health challenges many women face, especially in urban settings. These insights paired with her personal hardships led her to author “The Path to Emotional Greatness Yielding to Personal Transformation.” This inspirational workbook, a #1 New Release on Amazon, is more than just a recounting of Kenya’s journey. It offers practical strategies for women to achieve mental clarity and emotional well-being.

In 2012, Kenya established Faith In Girls Inc. (FIG) with a vision of creating a world where women are emotionally empowered. This non-profit aims to address the glaring gaps in emotional wellness programs and resources available to women, particularly those in urban settings. One of FIG’s upcoming initiatives includes the launch of FIG University’s online course in 4-6 weeks. This course, focusing on emotional greatness, promises to equip women with actionable strategies to enrich their life experiences.
Apart from emotional wellness, FIG has also forayed into tangible empowerment. They have recently partnered with the Detroit Land Bank to rehabilitate homes. This initiative is a testament to Kenya’s commitment to building communities. By offering non-traditional purchase options and reduced home costs, this program ensures that women have a chance at homeownership, laying the foundation for a stable future for them and their families.
For those interested in learning more about FIG and its various initiatives, a fundraiser event is scheduled on August 26th from 4 pm-8 pm at Chroma Detroit, E. Grand Blvd. Attendees can register via Eventbrite at https://bit.ly/faithingirls and can also sign up on the website, https://www.faithingirls.org.
Kenya’s journey is a testament to the age-old saying, “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.” From her early days in Detroit to her present role as a women’s empowerment expert, Kenya has shown that with determination, resilience, and the right resources, it’s possible to overcome even the toughest challenges. She’s not just a survivor; she’s a beacon of hope and an embodiment of the transformation she wishes to see in the world. As she continues to forge her path, one message remains clear: Emotional wellness in women is paramount for a productive, fulfilling life.
