TESTIMONIALS

“I listened to Keith speak in April 2019, and I found him to be a phenomenal speaker who engages his audience and leaves them with a sense of empowerment. Keith's personality appealed to his audience, while his passion for helping and serving captures the hearts and attention of all those he's speaking to. Keith was informative and exuded charisma and authenticity during his speech. I believe he left his audience enthused, elevated and enlightened. Keith is an innate motivator!"

Store Manager

“I have known Keith for a short time, but in that time I have gained an awesome brother in Christ! His story is a great testimony to what God can do when a man truly turns himself over to God. He has been broken, he's lost everything, yet he still smiles and glorifies God with his words and his life. God has restored all that he's lost and more! He is a man who has been given the God given talent of public speaking, allow him to grace your ears!”
