GET TO KNOW KENDAL
& CHECK OUT HER STATS
KENDAL HOWELL, 17
My name is Kendal Howell and I am from Upper Marlboro, Maryland. I am a senior in high school and I plan to further continue my academic endeavors in college. A day in the life of me would resemble a Christian entrepreneur who enjoys playing volleyball a whole lot! I would describe myself as a very curious person hence my interest in multiple different things such as sociology, hair, African American history, and law. The phrase “For The Love of Black Girls” pushes the narrative of Black women being the spotlight. The light that we shed on ourselves since the world and the media actively chooses not to. Through my time as a Cover Girl at UYS, I truly grew a profound understanding of what it means to be “Uniquely You.” This comes in many ways for all people but for me, Uniquely You means to be thankful. Thankful for the mind, heart, and body that God gave us and taking pride that no one can be you better than you! Self-appreciation follows self love which follows you so with that all being said, take the step and lead the way.
