My name is Kenneth Brown Billups, III- or simply Ken Billups.

Fabric: Inglewood, CA. | St. Bernard HS (Playa Del Rey, CA) // Florida A&M Univ. (Tallahassee, FL)

The website kenbillups.com has been developed to encompass everything Ken Billups: ranging from the nonprofit organization, to the marketing/business consulting, the professional networking group, and charitable giving foundation.

With that being said, it is only right that aligned with my “personal brand”, I enhance my presence online via the various outlets (social networking: facebookmyspacetwitterlinkedin, etc) in the Web 2.o era. In addition, I have established a blog that will feature relevant information, news, and events catered to the progressive-minded audience. [Read more/Read bio]

The blog will feature [but not limited to] contributing writers as well as spotlight business professionals, entrepreneurs, companies, restaurants/lounges, and vacation destinations.

Thanks for visiting the blog and I encourage you to continue to visit as well as invite others to view the blog/website as well.
