Paul Day hosted Today's episode of The Infinite Voice of our Youth, which was a shift for listeners since Kelly is typically the host of the podcast.  However, on this day, Kelly was the featured guest on the podcast. During the interview, Kelly explains the foundation of who he is, how he grew up, and how Philadelphia and the 21st and Westmoreland neighborhood of North Philly, cultivated his growth.

Kelly is a selfless servant with a captivating personality that he chooses to share to help people embrace their truth and become the best versions of themselves. His eventful journey in life and exposure to a loving community allowed him to persevere through the many challenges he experienced growing in a tough North Philly neighborhood.

Kelly explains how conditions, neighborhoods, and the synergy of a unified community allows the villagers to thrive in a society that only wants youth to survive. It takes the institutionalization of a Villiage to combat the system of the school to prison pipeline.

Kelly's evolution and challenging journey is one that many Latino and African-American males face in the United States. It speaks to the power of community and how a community of men and women can help move young people to step into their greatness if those elders guide them appropriately.

Kelly's childhood experience, trauma, and resilience are what helped him to develop into a relatable person to listeners. His passion, intuition, and genuineness are inviting to those he interacts with or shares information with to benefit them.

During this episode, Kelly provides the audience with a real-life journey of what happens when young people are not communicated with or given practical opportunities to purge pain, anger, disappointment, and guidance. He provides listeners with essential information that they can utilize to minimize the probability of being consumed by negative forces.
