The work has changed. The assignment has not.
Years ago, Kenneth’s calling was simple: Speak to the hearts of men. The platforms have changed. The assignment has not: tell the truth, build what is missing, hold fathers accountable without surrendering their humanity, keep children at the center.

Signature point of view
There is no such thing as a fatherless child. Every child has a father. The question is where he exists. Language shapes what we attempt to solve.
