I reached out to her and she was open to it. I traveled from Atlanta to Houston not sure what to expect but she welcomed me with open arms along with her wonderful family. That&#8217;s how I met perhaps the most powerful human being I have ever known. To say the least I am so proud of Kechi and always think about her when I am going though my own life&#8217;s challenges. Her passion for life means so much to me and many people she continues to inspire. This little video we created remains one of my most powerful\/meaningful\/passionate works till date. You can watch Kechi on America&#8217;s Got Talent.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>&#8220;The movie is a short documentary film on the healing power of faith and how a mother connected with her daughter in coma through a song.
