As a child, the odds of doing something extraordinary with his life weren’t in Kenneth’s favour.
Born out of wedlock, Kenneth grew up without a father in an impoverished, segregated southern US community. As a child from a single-parent household, he was immediately type casted as “at-risk” once he started school.
But despite the obstacles, Kenneth was determined to make his mother proud.
At 17, he joined the US navy, which sparked a thriving, 21-year career in international espionage and military service. And just as his travels allowed him to discover the wonders of the world, it was also a journey of exploring the vastness within himself.
Kenneth’s book, Illegitimate Sun, is the culmination of all he’s learned in his career as a navy cryptologist and–perhaps most importantly–from the wisdom of his mother, who was raised during the Jim Crow era. His story of intergenerational resilience is ultimately one of hope–and a reminder that “no one can beat you at being you.”
