She is a retired writer. Twice she sent me a letter with her orders (she refers to me as Kenya, the girl from Brooklyn). She writes beautifully about her travels through Kenya, and about why she loves that UncommonGoods gives back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong><br \/>\nIt changes. Music is my go to, though, for inspiration. Depending on what type of inspiration I need, I know just where to go on my playlist for it. I am also inspired when I see my friends succeed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My guilty pleasure is\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nCoffee. I love the taste and the smell of it. If I let myself, I could drink it all day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An uncommon fact about me\u2026 <\/strong><br \/>\nI am also an actor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite thing about living in New York City is&#8230;<\/strong><br \/>\nThe diversity.

That they will support it in any way they can. Another inspiration!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you rather&#8230;Get to hang out with your favorite actor for an entire day or get an all-expenses paid week-long trip to any destination you choose?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;d love to spend the day with Sidney Poitier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kenya is a Customer Service Supervisor at UncommonGoods.
