Testimonials and Comments for Kenyon
I know the spiritual side and the human side of Kenyon and consider myself lucky to know him in these ways. Because the spiritual side of Kenyon holds knowledge that will be unleashed through the power and gift of his words...but the human side will be found in the adversity that those words may create and the strength that he shows when he pulls through them unscathed and still wearing his feathers, tiara and couture. :)
...good morning grandma (in-law?) Kenyon!
Arms flying everywhere, walking on the stroll in the black Mecca of ameriKKKa...a non academic, deep and simple convo while grabbing a container and some assorted delights
...lunchtime bliss with the one-and-only Cinnamon.
Amigo! It's really meant a lot to have you on board and finally get to build some unity over the last few months. Our scheduled and impromptu talks are FAB. They allow me to reflect and refresh - even without answers or after things become more complex. It has been a thrill and a treat!
THANK YOU!!!
admire about Kenyon. his passion for breakin
down + callin out the knowns and the accepteds of
our often static activist community conjures up
passionate images of a preacher, mid week,
frustrated that folks are saving the holy for just
that one day.
what makes him a true revolutionary is that his
fierce principles just dont stay in activist land. oh
no. kenyon is as brilliant a writer as lover as
educator as roommate as organizer.
werk it out. yes, honey, y e s !
- kenyon @ some boogie restaurant in
nyc.
rules over all of us. He knows is, but
some of us have yet to catch on. I have
learned a tremendous amount about my
community through Kenyan and have the
highest respect and admiration for him.
