In 2011, she co-founded Tunnell Enterprises. Tunnell Enterprises operates in multiple states specializing in large commercial builds and remodels, partnering with Walmart, Sam’s Club, Academy Sports, Home Depot, Dollar Tree, AutoZone, Foot Locker, and other commercial businesses.
Kezia also is firmly committed to community, serving on numerous advocacy boards promoting education, family and community reunification, community development, and human trafficking awareness.
Frontline, Kezia works with organizations that encourage and guide teen parents within the Latino community as well as a number of advocacy groups. Promoting awareness for life causes, Kezia has managed operations for the non-profit Gold Monarch Healing Center that promoted awareness for life causes. In 2017, she became the Director of Operations for Project 7 Billion, which collaborated with the nonprofit, Create In Me, to combine art and identity training planning for events worldwide. During Kezia’s tenure, she expanded Project 7 Billion scope to partnering with other nonprofits to implement its Roar program throughout the US and Israel.
Raised a Baptist Missions pastor’s daughter, Kezia grew up in different cultures. Her childhood was spent in Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Asia, and South America. As an adult, Kezia and her family continue to travel and serve communities throughout the world that promote causes that support life.
Kezia and her husband have four children and live in Alexandria, VA.
Why you? I have lived and worked all over the US and Internationally. Having such a diverse worldview and experience I understand how important America is not only for our people but for the world. My husband and I are products of the American dream. We had the opportunity to come from very little to make a future for our four children and the employees who partner with our company. I believe and support those who desire to be successful. For the last decade I have given my life to communities and projects that support the underserved communities. I have success working in minority communities and a plan to help the immigrant community who are legally eligible to become American Citizens and still preserving the legacy of the United States. I believe the Republican Party can be the voice for the underserved, minority, and working class American.
