When I sit for interviews, or asked this question in person, half of me cringes and the other half is excited for the opportunity to spread KAE’s mission once again. You may hear “cringe” and think why? Well, because, “what is KAE?” is equivalent to the age old interview question, “So, tell me a little about yourself?” Although it seems like an easy question since the answer lies solely in you, it’s really not that simple. Here we are, three years later. Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. KAE began, on paper, in grad school when my class was told to create a mock business idea. KAE was later solidified after I graduated and shared the idea with my sister and close friends. However, without c

After talking to my cousin, we came up with the idea to make this thing called life more exciting by becoming the “Yes man”. For all of you who have not seen this movie, it stars Jim Carey who enrolls himself into a personal development program based on a very simple idea: say yes to everything! Jim discovers the power of “Yes”, and sees his professional and romantic life turned upside down overnight. Although it brings about positive things such as an unexpected promotion and a new girlfriend, he also discovers that better can be good’s enemy, and that all opportunities shouldn’t be taken. So for the next 3 months (as a starter), I will begin this journey of saying YES to all new things tha

The truth is- life can take a lot out of a person. Whether it involves work, family, relationships of all types, etc., being kind can sometimes be the last thing that comes to mind. We all strive to be a good person, with good morals, true character, integrity, and respect. Doesn’t it seem like one or all of these tend to be brushed aside when confronted with a difficult or frustrating situation? When you see KAE, you probably think, “they’ve perfected the art of kindness.” Trust us. The struggle is real. Perfect example: I was at the nail salon, having a GREAT day of pampering when I decided to change the color that I had previously chosen for my pedicure. I told the technician that I would

Phew. WE MADE IT….through the first week of the new year! Is it only us or did it feel like this week would never ever ever ever end?! Regardless of that, we are certainly blessed to have made it through the week and we do not take that blessing for granted. As we were thinking of what our second blog posting would be, we settled on “Guns, Grace & Grub”. You are probably thinking, “where the heck are they going with this?” Valid though. Let us explain. GUNS This past week, President Obama announced a series of executive actions aimed at reducing gun violence. Read all about the facts of his proposal here. We want to hear your thoughts on this? Whichever side of the debate you are on, please

May your coming year be filled with blessings and dreams. I hope you read amazing books, lose yourself in enlightening conversations, and remember each and every time God carried you through a difficult situation in 2015 and will believe He can and will do it again in 2016. I hope somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself. As Neil Gaiman once said, "I hope you will have a wonderful year, that you'll dream dangerously and outrageously, that you'll make something that didn't exist before you made it, that you will be loved and that you will be liked, and that you will have people to love and to like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and mor
