To show he’s living up to his word, he recently reached out to BK Nation’s Kevin Powell for a conversation about ending domestic violence from a male perspective.
Powell is a familiar, progressive voice on the national networks and in magazines. He is working on a memoir about his journey into manhood. In 2015 he will also publish a biography of Tupac.
BK Nation is a 21st Century Civil Rights organization.
Kilpatrick also serves as a coordinator with Vera House Inc. here in Central New York.
The cast of “Doors” (Debra Richardson, Jalayla Finster, Sheena E. Solomon and Sharleen Starks) along with advocates Loren Cunningham, Jennifer Nadler, George Kilpatrick and The PRPAC’s Karin Franklin-King participated in a talk-back session at CNY Jazz Central following the world premiere of the play.
Doors, which was written by Vanessa Johnson and directed by PRPAC’s Ryan Hope Travis, will run for two more shows on Saturday. The play is an emotional exploration of a group of ladies dealing with sexual assault in a family context.
Jennifer Nadler is an abuse survivor and attended the show. She also participated in the talk-back session and thanked the cast because Doors paralleled her own truth journey.
