About Kenji Summers
Kenji Summers is a mindbody coach, certified mindfulness instructor, and contemplative artist, born and based in New York City. He trained under the same teacher who mentored Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, discovering how meditation helped shape the legendary Mamba Mentality.Before learning to work in, Kenji played a pivotal role in launching the career of hooper-turned-rapper Sheck Wes, contributing to the release of the 5x platinum-certified song “Mo Bamba.” It was during the Astroworld tour with Travis Scott that Kenji became fully convinced of meditation’s power to ease his own struggles with performance anxiety and depression. This realization marked the beginning of his daily mindfulness practice, which has now reached over 2,900 consecutive days. Through this journey, Kenji experienced firsthand that peace isn’t the absence of chaos—it’s finding your center within it.Today, Kenji works with professional athletes to help them find calm under pressure and is building cultural communities that encourage people to work in. He recently co-founded the Free Peace Awake NY Meditation Club with Angelo Baque and is leading a mass meditation movement called Meditation for Black Men Who Do Too Much, creating space for healing, focus, and balance in underserved communities.
