His Daddy Taught Him That | Keynon Lake

Keynon Lake is a third-generation Asheville native and the founding director of My Daddy Taught Me That. It’s a nonprofit born from the values Lake attributes to his father, Bennie Lake, and a mission to pass them down to Black youth. Keynon Lake talks about what he learned from his parents, his program’s evolution and growth and the challenges of instilling the bedrocks of his father’s influence to the Black youth of today.
