Our Story
Welcome to our Well (WK) Family! At WK we are women who come from all walks of life. Many of our lives have intertwined for decades, and some of us have just recently met. If you are reading this, we know that you are a woman with purpose and passion for what you do and that you, too, have the desire to see others do well. As women who share the same faith, we believe that we all play a part in a bigger story. Therefore, we are bringing our talents, our businesses, our expertise, and our resources to one place. As a community, we share a common goal: to see that the needs of others are met, and we take great delight in watching each other and everyone flourish. One thing is true here: we all serve a noble purpose, working towards a greater good. Here, you bring your gifts, share your knowledge, sell your products, shop, and support each other as we build a network and a marketplace together. Every woman featured and every product sold is helping a business owner, a freelance artist, a nonprofit, women in ministry, and many others. At WK we call ourselves family, and we welcome you to our home. You can be sure that when you sit at our table, love will be served.
We each have our own story to share and we can’t wait to hear yours.

Who we are
Yvonne Kennedy
Founder of Well Known Intl
Yvonne Kennedy Founder of Well Known international. For years Yvonne has been the keeper of the vision for organizations like Fashioned Forward Ministries, Love Covers, Fashion 101, Makers and Creators, and The Well Int’l.
She receives inspiration daily from reading scripture, and stories of women doing their work around the world.
She is the consummate networker and loves to tell the stories of women she has met and worked with around the globe. Whether it is a small start up in Costa Mesa or a tailoring school in Uganda, she wants to be a part of bringing your vision in front of as many people as possible.
A master storyteller herself, it is likely that if you’ve met her even for a short time, you’ve heard her tell a story about how she knows you or someone you know (six degrees of separation have nothing on her). Yvonne is the rare type of loyal that you want in a friend and even more on the leadership board.
