Free-spirited Kenya lives in North Carolina in the US and is widely known for her polyamory advocacy.
When we ask about her boyfriends, a candid Kenya says, "That's uncountable. I have many partners, boyfriends and connections. Polyamory is not for everyone because it can be complex in a society where monogamy is a norm."
She is the founder of the Progressive Love Academy (PSALMS), an online relationships, empowerment, and metaphysical school, which is said to help improve every aspect of life.
Carl told Fox26: "We had genuine feelings for other people. Kenya and I talked about it," adding that they decided to go for it and see where it leads. All this happened after 12 years of marriage.

"Many couples are waking up to the fact that humans are living outside our natural paradigm, meaning humans are not a monogamous species," the mother of three said, adding that marriages and families are breaking up, riddled with adultery. "We are creating solutions here at Progressive Love Academy that support couples in moving smoothly from monogamy to polyamory - for the sake of family and love," Kenya explained.

She said it is easy to introduce the conversation to her partners. "I am upfront. I don't waste any time. I tell any potential partner or boyfriend that I am married and I don't plan to have a divorce. I tell them I don't believe in divorce, I will always be polyamorous, and I don't believe in monogamy," she explained.

There are questions and judgement from people who are either fascinated or shocked by her lifestyle. "The most common question is: why get married? But that does not seem like a logical question because I want to marry everyone I love. Who would not want to marry people they love? Many advantages come with polyamory. Anytime I want affection and attention, I can have that without any guilt and shame," she said.
