" Well I guess the only way to get a promotion in this town is to drink like a fish, hallucinate farm animals and kill a black man. Hey! Promotion! "

Biography

Season 1

Kenya works as a sheriff's deputy in the Bon Temps Police Department. She is called to the scene of Tara's car accident and arrests her for driving under the influence of alcohol. She seems to be familiar with both Lettie Mae Daniels and Tara. Kenya shows a dislike towards Andy Bellefleur and begins working more closely with Sheriff Dearborne when Andy is removed from the force.

Season 5

Kenya mocks Sheriff Andy when a naked picture of him is posted to Facebook. ("Whatever I Am, You Made Me")

Deputy Kevin Ellis questions Andy Bellefleur at the scene of the shooting of Stake House clerk Junior by Sam Merlotte. Kenya stands by as Sam sniffs around for clues in the back of the store, watching him quizzically. Sam's acute sense of smell draws him to a strange box. He tells Kenya to open the box because she is wearing gloves. When she does so, they find it full of the Obama masks the anti-supernatural murderers have been using. Sam rolls on his back on the floor sniffing. He tells Kenya about the shooter's poor diets and lifestyle. Kenya is concerned and asks Sam if there's anything she should know. Sam looks up sheepishly and says "...no." ("In the Beginning")

Joe Bob is arrested as a suspect in the supernatural murders. Andy and Jason beat up Joe Bob while Kenya is in the station. They later realize that Bud Dearborne is a link between Joe Bob and Junior and raid his farm. They find him with hostages and shoot him when he attempts to attack them. ("Everybody Wants to Rule the World")
