Welcome Back, family! I know that like me most of you spent your childhood watching BET. Long before there were more choices in entertainment aimed at African-Americans. And, long before the internet became a destination for information and programming there was Black Entertainment Television. Our guest this week was there for some of the most pivotal and seminal moments in that network's history. From interviewing Natalie Cole and Stevie Wonder to helping to discover Maxwell and developing the ground-breaking Access Granted. Kevin E Taylor has spent a lifetime helping others develop their dreams and stopped by to share his journey and his inspirational spirit with the family. You're going to want to set aside some time for this one because the roller coaster ride of his life is truly thrilling. When you're done listening make sure you check out his web series "Now What?" and as always make sure you tell us how you liked this week's episode. Check us out on the web at viewfromthestoop.com.
