UPTOWNflavor

Many of you know KEM through his music, now you can experience him through his inspiring words.

R&B singing sensation KEM will discuss his life, his music, and how “PROSPERITY IS A CHOICE.”

Several years after high school, his life took a downward turn
and he eventually found himself in and out of drug rehab and
homeless shelters. He hit rock bottom when he awoke one night
sleeping outside after breaking shelter rules, and he became
determined to clean up his act. KEM says, “I want to be a vehicle
to let people know that they can have anything they want.”

Special inspirational remarks from authors Jewel Diamond Taylor,
Terrie M. Williams (Black Pain), and Ilyasah Shabazz (Growing Up X).
