Kendi Skeen started her blog in 2009 to find her personal style and instead found her career. Through the 6 years of publishing daily style posts, Kendi has evolved with the blogging industry as well as being a key piece in the change by creating an online community of readers aspiring to live their best life and implement personal style into their lives each day.

Kendi has worked with numerous brands and retailers to create significant ad campaigns, including Gap, Old Navy, Kate Spade, Fossil and Nordstrom and was a forerunner in native marketing when it was not a standard use of advertising. She was named a “Real Woman of Style” from Redbook Magazine in 2014 and since, has continued to grow her loyal audience year after year. With her fresh and unique content, Kendi Everyday continues to be the go-to guide for style, beauty and life advice for women around the world.

Kendi opened her own clothing brick and mortar store in 2011 in Dallas, Texas where she lives with her husband and her two dogs.

Mike subsequently joined Google - starting in their sales and operations team, and later becoming a software engineer. In 2009, with fellow Googler Michael Fox and ex-lawyer Jodie Fox, Mike co-founded Shoes of Prey - an innovative e-commerce player that allows women to design their own shoes.
