Keith K.L. Belvin is a prime example of what happens when you Allow God to take control of your life. A father of six, Dean of students for the New York City Department of Education for over thirteen years and a Christian, Keith is also the co-founder of Bravin Publishing LLC, a literary publishing company geared towards publishing authors who are presenting minorities as role models for today’s youth specifically, the African-American communities.
In June 2008, Keith released his first manuscript called “A Man in Transition,” a book of poems, stories and personal observations. With the success of the first book Keith decided it was time to Currently, Keith has completed his second book “From Gigolo to Jesus,” released in February 2011 under Bravin Publishing, LLC. The book discusses his journey from being a whore to a man of God. He discusses how gaining access to pornography at a young age and having no male role models led him to a life of inward
and outward destruction which included being a part of over twenty-five
miscarriages and abortions combined,
having six children with five different women, being married and cheating, divorced, all while being lead to hearing the Lord’s voice, changing his life, getting married to a woman he cheated on three times while they were dating, reconnecting with all his children, even one he found out about twenty six years later, and reconnecting with his father after thirty nine years, whom he had never met. The book will focus on where he was to where he has become as a mentor, author, educator and now most importantly, a man of God. Keith has published credits in poetry, fictional and non-fictional stories. Over the years Keith changed my focus of writing from erotic based content to romance, spiritual inspirations and social promotion due to personal religious choices. It is his hope to offer the world-focused insight of a man who has completely changed his life from one of misogyny to helping and supporting others. His writing proves his growth as a man, educator and husband who now, attempts to offer counsel, entertainment and guidance to all he meets. He has been fortunate enough to have performed and/or appeared on various internet radio programs like Blog talk Radio’s Urban Literary Review, Black Authors Network, The Beautiful Butterfly Show and many other radio shows. K. L. has performed spoken word at New York’s Bowery Poetry Club, as part of the Urban Erotika showcase, Untamed Talent Presents, The Weekly Series, and various other locations.
