I am Kingya, an activist, professional speaker, father, podcast enthusiast, and an American Descendant of Slaves. I speak on my journey through life and openly talk about resiliency, single-parenting, my absentee father growing up. I inspire by speaking from my own relationship experiences with racism, academic struggles, abuse, homelessness, activism, prison, addiction, poverty and overcoming various other obstacles. If I can reach one person through an inspiring message, I'd say if you want success, Pursue your dreams without Permission, never look back, and continue to dream big.
