Kenya Moore's Early Life and Career Beginnings

Kenya Moore, born in Michigan in 1971, had a challenging childhood, as her mother abandoned her when she was only three days old. She was raised by her grandmother and aunt, who played a significant role in her upbringing. Kenya's educational journey led her to graduate from Cass Technical High School in 1989, and she pursued a degree in psychology and communications at Wayne State University. At a young age of 14, Kenya started her modeling career and gained recognition as the cover girl for Ebony Man magazine in 1992. She further ventured into pageantry, winning the titles of Miss Michigan in 1992 and Miss USA in 1993, becoming only the second black woman to achieve this feat in history.
