S2E6: Purpose Driven Life ~ Meet Kevin E. Taylor

Kevin E. Taylor is the kind of guest that inspires me to continue to do this show. He is, in many ways, a prototype for the kind of person I love to connect with for these podcasts. He is the quintessential eccentric, highly accomplished and continuously expanding in several creative arenas. Author, talk show host, music show creator and entertainment producer are a few of the titles he holds. He’s the conscious, spiritual journeyman known for his civil rights activism, community organizing and stirring of souls as the founding pastor of Unity Fellowship Church, a love centered, LGBT friendly, non-denominational house of faith in Newark, New Jersey. Additionally, he is the man who quietly spearheaded some of your all-time favorite music shows on the BET network: “Access Granted”, “Testimony” and “Lyrically Speaking” respectively. He is also the man who, by divine intervention, did not take that last flight with the late great R&B legend Aaliyah. He lived instead to bring the moments he’d captured, her very last moments, to a saddened and waiting world. Then eighteen days later on September 11th, he cheated death once more by not boarding his originally scheduled flight to Los Angeles from New York. Again, he lived. Delivered by the “favor of God” he knows he is here for a reason. His is a fantastic life full of ebbs and flows, great joy, great pain, evolution, testimony, truth, humor and most importantly…divine purpose. There is so much more I could tell you, and I will. Just sit back and listen. Ladies and gentleman, meet Kevin E. Taylor. The wines: Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi (White Zinfandel) Primal Roots-- California Red Blend
