Koseenza (Ko-seen-za), defined as "exuding confidence and extracting greatness", instills the belief in oneself to achieve anything that is truly desired. To combat settling by challenging better for thyself, and ultimately becoming a light of hope for others in gaining the confidence needed in becoming their greatest self.​ 

 

The Birth of Koseenza: It was the year 2020 and the world was in turmoil. A deadly pandemic swept across the globe, America was led by arguably the most controversial President in its history, and riots sparked from another unjust murder of a black man by the hands (knee) of a police officer. The consumption of alarming media was at an all-time high and the future of our world was never more uncertain. ​

 

During these trying times, Nkosinza "Ko" Balumbu (Koseenza Founder) found himself in uncomfortable emotional state. His heart was in danger of hardening as there wasn't much for him to love. He had been let go from his job duties for the 2nd time in his coaching career and accepted what then seemed to be a lesser position within the same profession. The relationship between him and a very close childhood friend had fractured, and he was unsuccessful in trying to reignite a past romantic relationship. He had never felt more alone at this time, and it weighed heavy on him.​ 

 

Coincidentally, California began the official Covid-19 lockdown on Balumbu's birthday, March 16th, of Twenty-Twenty. As July 2020 shortly arrived, his motivation in searching to pour his love into somebody had depleted, and he then ultimately gravitated towards pouring his love into something. The courage to accept his already "written journey" rose from an epiphany he had. It became clear to him that building this company would be a vessel of spreading love across the world. So, on July 18, 2020, Koseenza became an official licensed company.​​

 

Koseenza's powerful recognizable logo (Heart Emblem) is superb imagery which aligns perfectly with the company's core values of Love, Fitness and Comfort. Choosing to spread love over hate, encouraging fitness at all levels to maintain good health and valuing comfortable apparel, are all foundational pillars of the company.​ 

 

Background: Balumbu graciously offers Koseenza to the world. His vision stems from humble beginnings growing up in Northern California as the youngest of 11 children raised by Congolese (DRC) Parents. Through his early maturation, he adopted qualities such as hard work, determination, and resilience. 

 

​Those same qualities proved vital throughout his athletic journey as he successfully competed in multiple sports. Earning notable honors such as California High School State Champion, while attending James Logan (Union City, CA), and NCAA National Champion while competing for the University of Arkansas (Fayetteville, AR), spoke and still speaks measures about his courage, commitment and competitiveness.​ 

 

As "Coach Balumbu", he's instructed youth, high school, collegiate and professional athletes across many sports, but most notably in Track and Field. Coaching stops at James Logan High School, UC Berkeley (Berkeley CA), Laney College (Oakland, CA), CSUN (Northridge, CA) and ARTU (San Francisco, CA), has offered him the ability to inspire and motivate countless individuals. Parallelly, his expectation is that Koseenza alike will serve as a grander platform that will continue to inspire and motivate all people of all backgrounds, who dare to dream.  

 

In Conclusion: You are cordially invited to support Koseenza the Brand. Those that do gain a sense of ownership and pride driven by love.
