Background information.

Where are you from?

I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. I now reside in Baton Rouge, LA.

What do you do? How did this “role” come about?

I hold many hats and I have to admit – I love each of them. During the day, I am a Dean at a middle school. In the afternoon, I put one of the hats I enjoy the most, that is a ministry as a minister and being an Administrative Assistant at my church. Working (both jobs) in a community that is often criticized and looked as a ‘rough area’ brings on its challenges but being a role model to the youth and young adults brings on much fulfillment. I am honored to have the opportunity to be a face of hope and to provide motivation.

Over the past 2 years, I have been building The KP Brand. This consist of a blog featuring spotlights, monthly social media chats and promotes thought-provoking topics for the everyday young leader, an apparel platform and soon consulting agency for faith-based organizations. The KP Brand’s overall mission is to promote good vibes.

 

What factors of your upbringing influenced your career goals?

Growing up in a family full of preachers, singers and community leaders has had a great influence on my life. I have always been interested in being a part of bringing a change for a group of people. I love people and to positively influence them is fulfilling.

How long have you been in this career? What did you do previously?

I have been in the education field for 4 years and ministry for 2 years. Before going into education and accepting my call to ministry, I previously pursued a career in real estate.
