KEKES MISSION STATEMENT 2013

'Stand in your purpose." KRS-ONE speaking at Temple University

I have always loved helping people and have been considered very sensitive since I was a small child. Throughout my life I have been blessed with MANY CHALLENGES, and yet have always known that there are others that still have it worse than me. The feeling always has gone beyond awareness, to empathy. I have always felt other people's problems to be very close to my own, and so participated in community service throughout my life and kept my own friends close like family. 

"You know that tenderness comes from pain. Its amazing how you love. Love is kind, love can give and get no gain. " Sade

I AM AN OPEN BOOK. You can ask me anything. In fact I have always been offering my unique truth in honesty to anyone that wants to hear it. I have always been wearing my heart on my sleeve, and put myself out there vulnerable as an artist and spoken word artist. The truth of my life is that my own personal challenges have beaten me like a meat tenderizer on my mind and spirit for years, till I was READY, ABLE TO COME OUT STRONGER AND BETTER.  Without disclosing all at once what I've been through personally, This new year, I feel very grounded in my spirituality and lifestyle, which has developed over the years of soul searching, career changing and having a child. I love to bask in the wisdom of my elders and the laughter of my child and I am blessed to offer what life has given to me through my struggles: TRUTH, JUSTICE AND LOVE, all in a very personal way. 

I believe in working together to achieve unified collective and agreed upon goals.

I believe that PEACE and LOVE are not just words but carry a spiritual essence, and that everyday beauty can be shared if we choose.

And I believe in starting small and dreaming big. My dream in life has always been true peace and happiness, and to choose that for myself means to “be the change I wish to see in the world” (Ghandi) because “if you wanna reach the nation.. start from your corner” (Andre 3000).

SO as an individual, in my work, and working in conjunction with my budding non-profit and other individuals and organizations, I dedicate my life to the spirit of LOVE, giving my WILLINGNESS to commune with and help others through the skills I have and the tangible resources that I’ve gotten over time.

ASK ME ANYTHING, AND LETS COLLABORATE TO BUILD BETTER COMMUNITIES FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FOR MOTHER EARTH TO CONTINUE WITH LOVE.
