Welcome to #KLowInspires

To know me is to love me, 50 thousand shades of Kennedi. The funny thing is I never know which one I am going to be when I wake up each day. Sometimes an event can happen & I flip the script. I can go from one to a thousand real quick. Not always in a bad way but I can go there if I need to. I am getting close to the edge between the personal stuff I am dealing with & being sheltered in place due to COVID-19. I... AM... over it. I miss hanging out & chilling with my friends. I miss our weekly or biweekly restaurant dates. I miss the activities & events I do with my community family. I miss the social part of life. I am a social butterfly & I miss hugging my people. It is not any easier since I live alone. To help my sanity I planned a cookout with a few friends this past weekend. By few I mean five people were invited. I had a great time. It made me remember my college days & the times I used to cook & my friends would come over & e...

I am in a complete daze. We are living in uncertain times. COVID-19 has disrupted what we thought life was. Life will now & forevermore never be the same. We have lost so many loved ones that we never got a chance to tell I love you or goodbye one last time. Some were swept away in their sleep & we did not even know the cause of it until disaster struck. Everyone is saying we have to pray & seek God and I am a firm believer in the Holy Trinity. God has seen me through some mighty dark days. But what about the individuals that do not believe in God? What about the individuals of other religions or the spiritual but non-religious individuals? We need to find common ground & come together as human beings and that common ground should be love. If we extend love & kindness to one another, oh what ways we could change the world & the way everyone views it. Through this whole ordeal, I have been praying & reading my Bible devotionals, I have also hit my ...

I know there’s no how-to book for parenting or exact guidelines on how to be a good parent, but as you grow & learn from your mistakes you should talk these things out with your child(ren). That old saying I’m the parent & you are the child just do as I say is the reason we keep carrying these curses from generation to generation.   As you became a parent you should have remembered the things you didn’t like that your parents did to you & not repeat these things with your offsprings. That “it was how I was raised” is not always the right way. As the book of life tells us when you know better you do better. So I’m sure there are things you know you could have done better than your parents. For the unnecessary situations or harm you brought to your child, for the lies & broken promises, for abandoning them, for the abuse, or for the early introduction to drugs, alcohol, and/or sex APOLOGIZE.  Since a lot of these generational curses are still being passe...

Enjoying my 1st silent music party      I finally had the opportunity to attend a silent music party held at our favorite community gathering spot. What was so unique and different about this silent music party was that there were three different DJ’s playing three different genres of music in three different rooms. Each station was set by a different color (red, blue, and green) on our headphones. We had the option of listening to Reggae, R&B, or Rap. I’m a lover of all three genres so I kept constantly switching back and forth between all three stations.      This event was sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) for International Condom Week 2020. Awesome event! Shoutout to Timothy Webb and his team. He mixed in speed dating in one of the rooms gathering participants from a certain station. Important HIV educational facts were mixed in with the R&B station which I thought was an awesome idea of educating the community.   ...

If your grandmother, mother, or aunt prepared meals using a cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven pot you knew that meal was heaven blessed. There were plenty of Sunday dinners spent with families sharing love and a meal prepared from one cast-iron skillet. You can use it to cook your vegetables, fry your chicken or fish, and bake your bread. This is an old kitchen secret weapon many people don’t make use of nowadays. I grew up watching my grandmother prepare plenty of meals using her cast-iron collection. She had skillets in all sizes. My favorite one was the small one you could fry 1-2 eggs in. And after using any one of her cast-iron dishes you better clean them properly or prepare to hear her wrath. In honor of this being Black History Month, we should start gathering more around the table to spend time away from the tv, digital and electronic devices to spend more time with our loved ones. Time is of the essence. Remember I LOVE YOU!!!!!

Auntie Oprah owes me nothing. I was blessed to be gifted a ticket to Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your life in focus tour. I left State Farm Arena feeling energetic, empowered, & invigorated. She lit the fire back up in me. Lately, I have been tired & have little to no energy. I honestly need to have my butt back in the gym or on a regular exercise routine, but I can’t find the energy to make myself go. So, I was not feeling my best as I have been battling a low-grade cold all week but I felt like being in that building might give me the ump I need to start back attacking my dreams & goals. I bundled up & battled the cold weather & traffic to see what I could learn. From the opening act with Daybreaker to get our energy up & blood flowing to the closing with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, I got my whole life. Daybreaker is a phenomenal group of dancers, singers, & musicians who got us to align our energy so that we were open to receiving all that was in alignme...

So, I’m going to try to share my experiences with you more often & be totally open & honest with you. When I moved back to GA, I made the decision to love people regardless of their circumstances or how they treated me. I can honestly say it has been one of the best decisions I have made in my life. The love I have been pouring into the community has been coming back to me double fold. I call people & ask for help or favors & they don’t hesitate to help or send me someone who can help. When they see an opportunity that they know will help me grow or network they send them my way. Even if I can’t afford the experiences, they have helped me make them happen & I thank God for putting me in the right place at the right time. I promise you it’s nobody but God. On Martin Luther King, Jr Day I was invited to a freedom dinner. I honestly was not feeling very well but I knew being around my loves would cheer me up while I was at the invite. Derrick said to me yo...
