My first swimming trophy felt like a million dollars. I remember it like it was yesterday. Then I got a partial scholarship to Morehouse College and made the swim team, which was like the football team at a school like LSU. My uncle was my mentor and he showed me a catalog and told me Morehouse was a good school. I felt like royalty when I came home from college. Before that, I got called by God when I was 18 but I wanted to have fun instead of preaching.
I fought the call while I was at Morehouse. So you became a preacher? Springfield is a mecca for athletes. I wanted to be a swim coach and Coach Silvia hired me as a grad assistant. Kelly, why are you running from your call? I finally surrendered after 10 years. I called Boston University and made an appointment to meet with the dean. I went there and got my Masters of Divinity.

While I was in Rhode Island the bishop for both Louisiana and Mississippi asked me to come down three times. The fourth time is when I decided to move. I was in Mississippi first where my son and daughter were born.
I had taught religion at the community college level, and when I came to Baton Rouge I saw an announcement in the paper that LSU was looking for an African American religion instructor. I teach introduction to African American studies and introduction to the civil rights movement, and I also teach an education course.
But getting back to your swimming, how did you come into Senior Games? I swam recreationally once I got out of college, but I messed around and got away from it because I was raising a family.
That was the beginning of starting to lose it. I had been active most of my life and then let myself go. I hit the wall in So I went to the doctor and my cholesterol was off the charts.
