Progressive Love Academy is here to meet the challenges of modern love with clarity, courage, and dozens of Actionable Tools designed to help humans build harmonious, lasting relationships. Founded in 2005 by Carl and Kenya K Stevens—partners in love and life for over three decades—this movement was born to usher in the paradigm shift we so deeply need: one that marries freedom with commitment, truth with compassion, and structure with soul.
Mission: Activated. Transformation: Underway.
Kenya K. Stevens
Kenya K. Stevens is a renowned relationship expert, love coach, best-selling author, wife, and mother of three. A proud graduate of Howard University (Class of ’97), Kenya holds a degree in Education and Child Psychology—along with a lifelong passion for the study of love, human behavior, and conscious relationships.
While at Howard, Kenya met and married fellow student Carl Stevens, and together they’ve created not only a powerful union but a global movement. From their home in the mountains of North Carolina, they’ve spent over a decade raising their family and building a transformative body of work that has touched millions.
In 2005, Carl and Kenya co-founded JujuMama LLC, which has since evolved into Progressive Love Academy—a worldwide coaching and training institute. Under Kenya’s leadership, Progressive Love has certified over 150 love coaches, tantra practitioners, and spiritual guides, offering education rooted in freedom-based love, conscious communication, and soul-deep intimacy.
Kenya’s formal studies are enriched by more than two decades of spiritual and embodied practice—including tantra, yoga, meditation, breathwork, metaphysics, and ancient African wisdom systems. She published her first book, Change Your Man, in 2008 as a companion piece to Carl’s Tame Your Woman, and their most powerful co-creation to date is UPLVL Communication™: The Ultimate Solution to Save Relationships and Eliminate Hurtful, Damaging, and Meaningless Arguments.
Her original systems and modalities—including The 30 Minute Orgasm™, Gender Harmonics™, UPLVL Communication™, iTantra™, and The Three-Way Mirror™ Process—have changed the way thousands relate, love, and lead.
Kenya and Carl have been featured on EBONY Magazine, Dr. Phil, The Mo'Nique Show, The Michael Baisden Show, Fox News, Slut Walk, and over 100 media outlets across radio, podcast, and television. Their message of Progressive Love continues to inspire, educate, and elevate through their thriving academy, global coaching programs, and powerful online presence.
