Where are you from?
KP – Queens, New York.
Do you miss the city?
KP – Not terribly. I miss the energy of the city. I miss shopping. I miss what I love most about New York. It’s a great melting pot.
What was your childhood like?
KP – That’s a loaded question. My childhood was rich spiritually. And at times confusing because it was old school Pentecostal. I had a lot of questions that were not being answered and could not be answered but I still asked them. And when we were coming up children were supposed to be seen and not heard. On the natural side it was challenging. My parents split up when I was really young. My mother was 22 years old raising three children alone in the ‘70’s. My father died when I was nine years old. My mother left my dad because he was a preacher in the church who left the church and backslid
How did your dad backslide?
KP – There was alcoholism and drug abuse on my dad’s side of the family. He was the only person in his family who was saved. He had a real battle because he would go to church on Sunday and his entire family would stay home. They didn’t do church. He had an inner battle and it got to be too much for him. He was a black man in the ‘70’s with a family to take care of and realized after the fact that he wasn’t really ready. His dad died when he was really young and he had no male figures to really look up to.
