Senait Ashenafi (born March 10, 1966, Addis Ababa) is an Ethiopian-born actress in the United States who played Keesha Ward in General Hospital from 1994 to 1998. She has also worked as a dancer, singer, and model.
She studied at Florida State University and has also worked on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and A Different World. She also starred as Brianna Marie Dukes in Honeybee where she fought a boxer called Tempest, played by Tamika Jones. Tempest was more than a match for Honeybee; she utilizes her height and greater reach to keep Honeybee at bay. It was a useful strategy that in the first few rounds, all Honeybee could do was keep her distance since Tempest was throwing punch after devastating punch on Brianna's pretty face
She also fought real-life boxers Nina "The Bomb" Alin and Corinne Van Ryle in the film, both of which nearly defeated Honeybee.
