Welcome to #KLowInspires

Life is for the living. There have been plenty of times where I have wanted to quit and throw in the towel. But God told me Kennedi, not yet. I might wallow, scream, shout, or cry but I wake up and keep it pushing. It’s not easy. It’s a hard pill to swallow, hating where you are currently at in your life & not seeing a way out. But God! He sends you signs, miracles, and blessings. His grace and mercy renew every day. Surround yourself with genuinely supportive and loving people. Stay positive and hold on Joy comes in the morning. Remember, I LOVE YOU 

After my diagnosis, I was searching for some support to see how young black women like me were living and surviving life with HIV. While on my search, I found a new family within a secret online group of women from all over the country living with HIV. The group is based out of Atlanta so I could meet some of the women in person. We laugh, cry, and shout together. We support and pray with one another in our time of need. We occasionally meet up for dinner, movies, bowling, and we attend educational events in the community. We are always sharing love and support to one another in the group.   There are always conferences for people living with HIV (PLWH). This summer I got a chance to attend my first one. Positive Living Conference held yearly in September in Fort Walton Beach, FL. I got my whole life that weekend. We networked and added new women to our online support group. I met new people just from sitting around the pool, listening to karaoke, a...

It takes a village to raise a child. Nowadays we as black people are in competition with each other too much to help each other out. There isn't much reaching back and bringing up our fellow brothers/sisters and too many don't want people to take their spotlight. Oh, what we could all learn from each other if we just work together. There is strength in numbers and until we realize it, we won't prosper as our ancestors fought for us to. During slavery our people had so little, but they had their faith, songs, and each other. How many of you can truly say you have a solid support system to boost you up or pray with you when times get hard? Every time I've leveled up, I always told the people I was leaving behind if there is a position or stepping stone for you where I am going I will be sure to let you know. I don't mind sharing recruiters or resources I want us all to WIN. This leads me to my point of this blog blended families. Everyone I know with a blended f...

Birthday 31 started off fabulous because God allowed me to see a new day in my right mind with the activity of my limbs. I'm blessed beyond measure to be able to spend it with the people I love and the ones who love me back. My big sister and I celebrated it with our first cruise to the Bahamas. Neither of us had ever been to the Bahamas. We made some great new friendships on and off the ship. It's funny how the world is separated by 6 degrees. I met so many people from GA, FL, TN, and AL along with people from up north and other countries. We were all one big family thousands of miles from shore. Sometimes I ask God how am I so blessed but I thank Him for the people He has placed in my life whether for a reason or a season. I can never repay my sister for always being there and supporting me in all of my endeavors. She gives selflessly of her time and everything she does is done with love. I'm blessed to have met her back in 2006. I pray that I am half of a good sister t...
