Initiatives
Founded, launched, and led — the vehicles carrying this work forward.
Former Executive Director
Providing exposure and access to the aviation industry for disengaged youth — an organization Kenneth led because he knows firsthand how transformative aviation can be for a young person without a clear path forward.
Saturday, February 28, 2026 · Ellington Airport, Houston
The first annual public expo uniting students, families, pilots, engineers, airlines, educators, and veterans for aircraft displays, hands-on experiences, and career exploration.
Launching 2027
An empowerment hub guiding youth and adults through personal leadership, aviation exposure, character development, and career readiness.
In development
Financial support for trade school, flight training, college, and university studies — removing the cost barriers that hold aviation dreams hostage.
The goal
One million young people reached with aviation education worldwide
Through the Aviation Careers Interactive Workbooks, school and community programming, the TEDx platform, and the Unity in Flight expo. Cumulative program metrics are being compiled and confirmed before publication.
Programs
As Founding Director of Education and Outreach at the $40M Lone Star Flight Museum, Kenneth led programming that brought students and families face-to-face with aviation history and careers.
Serving on the STEM Flights board of directors since 2022, supporting an organization that pairs students with pilots for real discovery flights.
School visits that translate a career in aviation from abstract idea to concrete path — certificates, costs, timelines, and first steps.
One-to-one mentorship for aspiring aviators and transitioning service members pursuing professional flying.
Advising on aviation curriculum and student pathways as a board member for the 2026–2029 term.
Member of the Organization of Black Aerospace Professionals, supporting representation across the aviation industry.
One student at a time
Most of this work happens one child at a time — a question answered, a cockpit seen up close, a career suddenly made real.
Kenneth grew up in Houston's Fifth Ward without a single pilot in his life to point the way. Every classroom visit, discovery flight, and coloring book placed in a child's hands exists so the next young aviator doesn't have to find the runway alone.
