Kiyoshi uses his own example of running a grass roots organization to teach us about change: what is it? what feeds it? and how can we become catalysts to making it progress in our communities? Kiyoshi Taylor is happiest when busy and productive. He loves music, travel, sports, and animals. As a multimedia design major in college, Kiyoshi was taught the importance of keeping up with the ever-changing technological landscape. He is proficient in Adobe Creative Suite, WordPress, and a range of other design, video, and web applications, and is always eager for opportunities to apply his skills, but he is always looking to learn new things and experience different work environments.
Kiyoshi’s work with the nonprofit organization, that he co-founded in 2020, Justice Vanguard, has strengthened his belief in the power of education to achieve social change. Justice Vanguard was founded with the goal of educating our communities and our youth for a stronger, more inclusive future.
He has tremendous respect for the community leaders he has met who continue the fight for racial and social justice. His work has impacted thousands of lives and keeps making positive change.
