The Rev. Kevin E. Taylor, the New Jersey-based pastor, gay activist and author, is featured in several venues this week. Read Rev Kev's essay at Black AIDS Weekly, "Through My Eyes", which offers some outstanding advice to black gay men and youth seeking to reconnect spirituality. There's a passage devoted to fatherhood and mentoring:
My life as a Black gay man has been amazing. I've had a great career working in the entertainment industry and a wonderful spiritual calling. Five years ago I adopted a now 20-year-old son, and it was incredible watching him grow into a young man. Many brothas sometimes wonder how they can give back to the community. Have you considered mentoring youth? Or volunteering in your neighborhood? Black gay men have so many skills and talents that our community should tap into.

Rev Kev is also profiled in the newest issue of SWERV—hottie DeMarco Majors is on the cover—the newish black LGBT lifestyle publication. Find out where to find a copy HERE.
Watch and vote for Kevin's Oprah audition video, too.
And over Father's Day weekend, Rev Kev shared a video that he made for his now 20-year-old-son Ga'vel as he journeys into manhood. Watch it WHEN YOU JUMP ...
I adore Rev Kev! He is one of my FB friends and is so inspirational. Love all the shine!
