CELEBS GIVE BACK: Keisha Knight Pulliam Launches Kamp Kizzy With Support From Ludacris And Trina!

Aug 01 | by _YBF

Actress and philanthropist Keshia Knight Pulliam recently started a non-profit named Kamp Kizzy to empower young girls. She hosted the Kamp Kizzy's kick-off over the weekened in Atlanta on the campus of her alma mater, Spelman College, and we have pics from the event inside for you.

See Trina and Ludacris join in the empowerment inside......

Over the weekend, Keshia Knight Pulliam hosted a two-day summer day camp at Spelman College for 130 girls ages 11 to 16 years old.

The summer day camp was part of the launch of Kamp Kizzy which Keshia started to empower young girls.

The girls participated in an acting workshop with The Alliance Theater's "The Real Tweenagers" production, health and sex education classes, a campus tour of Spelman, and the creation of body image silouhettes and vision boards.

Throughout the two-day camp, Keshia was joined by her celebrity friends and local activists including former Atlanta mayor Shirley Franklin.

Trina also shared her experiences with the girls.

Ludacris participated in a few activites with Keshia during the launch.

And singer Christian Keyes also participated and offered words of encouragement to the girls.

Nice to see YBF celebs give back.

I wouldn't play any woman

I wouldn't play any woman like this or any other way. I don't know why our African American atrcos would portray themselves in this manner. It's just crazy ..Yeah you are an actor and your job is to fit the script but you do have a choice in what script you fit Somethings just isn't worth the money it takes to make ..Self-Esteem, Reputation, Character, Confidence, Culture, and many other things are those things that aren't worth the money to defame. They are priceless!!!

YBF THANK YOU! This is

YBF THANK YOU! This is EXACTLY the type of POST we need to see more of. Keshia Knight Pulliam is YBF in the TRUE sense of the phrase. This young lady is educated (beautiful) and she has an AMAZING image. This is what people should be doing with Celebrity. Giving back is such a beautiful thing and to young girls in need... I'm speechless. I much rather read about people like Keshia Knight Pulliam than people like Lala the attention whore. I was looking at some cite and they had all these rappers with stacks of cash to give away at strip clubs. Not only are these "men" degrading these women but they are wasting 50,000 in one night at strip clubs. Thank GOD we have people like Keshia who use money in an invaluable way. This camp will do more for these girls in a life time than dropping 50,000 on uneducated and exploited women at strip clubs. WAKE UP!

Kudos to Keshia Knight Pulliam on being a positive force in our community! Now...Furious, you know good and well if this was a different "kind" of post you'd be all over the comment section telling us about how irrelevant she is, how she is no longer a celebrity, you're I hate "mediocrity" spiel and all the other garbage you spew on a regular basis towards a person who has been out of the limelight for a little bit like you usually do, you hypocrite.

@ TORI Keishia is SMART AND

@ TORI Keishia is SMART AND BEAUTIFUL. And she is talented and she is also not LAZY waiting for things to happen. KKP went to SPELMAN COLLEGE did things the right way and now she is back in entertainment doing it in a respectable way. I would never attack someone who has really done great work. Keshia is also part of a LEGACY. The Cosby Show is my FAVORITE old retro shows (I have them all on DVD). That show is number 1 because they showed people I can relate to 100%. Claire Huxtable is a one of a kind character that sadly will NEVER come again. The love this family showed.... the STYLE the CLASS. I'm very consistent. I give praise where it's DUE not to Z-Listers who want only FAME without the work. KKP is GOLDEN in my book and someone I admire. I can relate to her and I see her plans for her career. She is using her FAME and connections in the RIGHT ways.
