ABOUT
Hey There!
I am Kennethia ... and yes - my dad's name is Kenneth, so I guess that technically makes me a Junior?! I am a tenacious seed planter who thrives in high energy spaces. I speak numbers, love to help others, and naturally connect with many walks of life. Whether it’s financial education, fitness journeys, or navigating uncertainty, I cultivate the potential in others.
Before transitioning into the world of entrepreneurship, I spent several years in the financial services industry. Throughout that time, I earned a couple of certifications and an advanced degree which allowed me to deepen my professional foundation, but I knew there was a greater opportunity to impact. I was reminded of the little girl in me …
Before entering corporate America or pursuing advanced professional accomplishments, I was a little girl with big dreams who just happened to be from a small city.
My WHY is rooted in bringing others along the journey with me as we take control of our paths and evolve into the best version of ourselves. Ultimately, the game changer lies in our mindset and willingness to execute! The marriage of my purpose and passion yielded financial empowerment workshops...or kitchen-table conversations, as I affectionately call them. The workshops and (friendly fitness competitions!) are just vessels used along my journey towards meaningful impact.
Let’s OWN OUR LEGACY together!
BEYOND THE BUSINESS
Never a dull moment in Kennethia’s life… she is dynamic, resilient, adventurous, and competitive! Kennethia’s cornerstone is based on supporting and enjoying her husband and two sons. If not with her family, you can find her taking fitness classes on the Peloton platform, looking for new travel destinations, basking in crafting projects, creatively personalizing fashion with alteration ideas or convincing others to join her in impromptu dance parties.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Each of us will leave our individual impact on the world – whether by choice or force. Through intentional choice, Kennethia Cochran founded KC Legacy Enterprises, LLC(KCLE) in 2021. She spent just over fifteen years in the financial services industry but had to step away after commencing a traumatic family medical journey. Determined to balance her personal priorities and professional pursuits, Kennethia embraced the life pivot and formed KCLE as a vessel to continue purposeful living. KC LegacyEnterprises, LLC is instituted upon five pillars: Faith, Family, Finances, Fitness and Footprint. The mission is to plant seeds, across each of the key pillars, that optimize individual transformations and foster positive generational influence.
Kennethia worked in various roles encompassing both client-based financial planning engagements and corporate finance initiatives throughout her career. She gained experience at Fortune 500 companies (Regions Financial Corp, Wells Fargo Bank, Discover Financial Services), as well as a start-up firm (Facet Wealth). She completed her academic studies at Tuskegee University (BS, dual major in Accounting and Finance) and the University of Houston (MBA). Kennethia became licensed as a Certified Public Accountant in 2008 and a Certified Financial Planner TM practitioner in 2011.
Although KCLE was formed in 2021, Kennethia’s devotion to financial education spans over a decade with the organization of her first financial empowerment camp in her hometown of Bessemer, AL in 2011. She is passionate about sharing valuable, relatable, and digestible financial education that empowers individuals to not only mitigate financial roadblocks, but also enhance knowledge, confidence, and decision-making skills. Whether the focus is to learn personal finance basics or to discuss wealth accumulation strategies, understanding the matters of money is an essential component of protecting your legacy.
WORKSHOPS
The Finances Pillar focuses on delivering financial education through the brands:
The empowerment workshops provide actionable steps and tools to begin or renew one's personal finance journey. In addition to presenting information to increase financial literacy, the sessions create a safe, interactive, and engaging environment to learn and share financial wisdom. Participants freely offer peer support, while being guided by a trusted professional.
