“Not only is Kendra talented, she has a true love for the community as she strives to support local nonprofits and individuals in need. Kendra is extremely community-minded, and she hosted many charity events, holiday toy drives, and business seminars supporting female and minority-business owners to succeed, which is why I have the honor of showcasing Kendra Mays Designs as Senate District 21st February’s Small Business of the Month,” Wilk continued.
