Kennedy first came to prominence when she became the first African American woman to win the Miss Ohio title in 1970, going on to work as a sports announcer.

In 1985, she married Bill Overton with whom she shares three children, Savannah, Kopper Joi, and her youngest Zaire who is celebrating her milestone birthday.

She decided not to let the rejection discourage her after she was hired by CBS sports.

Kennedy is known as one of the first female sportscasters and has opened up about her role in the industry, admitting that she had learned to live with rejection from Hollywood.

During an interview, the star said she decided not to let the rejection discourage her after CBS sports hired her. She said:

"I have also learned that rejection has nothing to do with me. It's about business. Yes, I wanted this job very much. I think it's one of the most prestigious for a woman in television."

Before her marriage to Overton, Kennedy was married to Leon Kennedy. However, a diagnosis of endometriosis meant that she did not think she would be able to have children.

During an interview with Ebony magazine, Kenney said that finding her second husband was a miracle and resulted in her finally becoming a mother, something that she had always dreamed of being.

When her first daughter was born, the beauty queen spoke about what she wanted for her children, saying that she would not dictate what career they wanted to follow.
