I am Tamara ‘Tamroc’ Johnson, The Co-Founder of Kappa Beta Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated. I am a 40-year-old St. Louis Native, however, I reside in Charlotte, NC. I love to travel, spend time with my family, give back to my community, work out, and read 365 devotion books while practicing the word of God. I also take great pride in working with local homeless shelters to help serve our community with goods and services. It is my passion to organize Community Service opportunities and events that will assist and give back to the youth. (ie: Donations of items, back-to-school events, summer events, and opportunities for them to grow).
Here in the Panda Den, I’m known as Frat DRIVEN. This name was chosen because of the drive that I contain; continuously pushing myself and not allowing anything or anyone to stop me. KBK was created when doors were closed in my face. Being able to create an outlet where we ALL in the LGBTQIA community can allow our voices to be heard. KBK means everything to me. This is my baby and the first time I can have something that I created to supported by others. I can have a platform for each one of my brothers to grow and feel accepted.
Brotherhood is about listening to one another. Not only being heard but able to be there for my brothers. Being able to have an argument, then come back and acknowledge my brothers’ opinions and never allow a disagreement to break us. Being able to become family and have fun, but keeping communication at the forefront
A gem I want to pass on to my brothers and future brothers is, “DON’T GIVE UP! DON’T GIVE IN! Keep God first and keep pushing toward your goals. Knowing that falling doesn’t mean you’re FAILING. But KEEP PUSHING and be patient because greatness takes time. You are going to make it. You got it!

I am Bobby Walker, a 29-year-old Buffalonian who resides in Charlotte, NC. Many know me as “Uncle Bob” or “Sub716,” however the brothers of KBK refer to me as Kultivator. I, Kultivator, is a Cannabis Influencer & Adult Herbalist who spends his time traveling, educating individuals across the country on the holistic effects and benefits of natural herbs, while teaching about the cannabis industry. My passion for the industry grew after discovering my own healing benefits from the knowledge I now share with others.
Kultivator has been a helping hand to many across the United States. I take great pride in serving my community through various organizations that have the same goal of bettering those around us. Not only does my name reflect my personal everyday life, but it also represents the many seeds I will plant within this brotherhood.
As a Co-Founder and Vice President of Kappa Beta Kappa, it is my duty to plant the seeds of brotherhood, service, equality, and trust. This brotherhood was built on the genuine principles of love and loyalty; for that reason, I am a proud member of Kappa Beta Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated. I hope to grow the organization with likeminded individuals that are seeking an opportunity to elevate, grow, and build collectively.

Canddis Barron, affectionately known as Smiley, Born 06-04-1985 (proud Gem)!! St. Louis Missouri native!!! I am a parent to many, but my 4 boys are my everything!
My hobbies are but not limited to reading, cooking, learning new things, children, sneakers, photography, assisting individuals with disabilities, and basketball. I have a giving heart and love helping others! I am a natural born entrepreneur with an unmatched hustle!
My Frat name is Frat ZeusAres!! My name was chosen by someone special! When asked why they chose this name for me, they affectionately replied, “I chose ZeusAres as your name because I feel you are a part of the sky and you shine so bright, you light up rooms soon as you walk in. You are an amazing leader and have so much courage. The way you love to help and protect others is something I’ve never seen. I feel this is a name fit for a warrior, and you are most definitely a warrior.”
I am a Co-Founder, as well as the Director of Community Service of Kappa Beta Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated. My role as the Director of Community Service is to work to extend the fraternity effort of service towards the community. My goal is to better our communities by any means necessary. As a Missouri mentor and facilitator of many community service events (ie: annual trunk or treat, free haircuts, and back to school give aways) my plans are to expand to as many cities as possible to make an impact on as many people lives as possible.
Kappa Beta Kappa was created to not only build a brotherhood based on love, respect and a type of loyalty that’s never been seen before, but to closely better our community. My vision is to help as many families as we can but if we positively change the lives of 1 family that’s a milestone that not many can say they’ve accomplished!
Brotherhood to me is an unconditional love, unbreakable bond and loyalty that can’t and won’t be tainted by whatever the world tosses in the mix because it’s genuine. It’s being the ear to listen, the shoulder to cry on, and the legs to stand if needed! One thing I will tell future members/pledges, “You can’t expect YOU from everyone, the only thing you can do is strive for greatness and do right by others then sit back and watch God continue to bless you!”

Known in the community as Coach Trent, but in the ‘Panda Den’ I am known as Frat Silent Weapon. This name was chosen because although I don’t speak a lot when I do, I destroy and conquer all that I put my mind to. I am what you can call a City-Southern Guy. I was raised by my grandmother, in which I became the baby of her bunch, although I was my mother’s oldest. My passions include all things Spirituality and Mental Health Awareness. I am passionate about advocating for the rights and liberties of the LGBTQ+
community and hold a special interest in trans masculine individuals by sharing my personal lived experiences.
As a Co-Founder of KBK, I’ve been tasked as the Historian as well as Training & Development.
It’s my duty to ensure that our history never dies and that we all are equipped and trained in all areas both professionally and personally.
KBK was built on solid principles powered by love and a true circle of trust! Being a part of this creation process and brotherhood gave me a new meaning of what it means to be accepted for who you are in its totality. Brotherhood to me is Loyalty! It’s what your loyalty allows you to do when I’m not
around, not just in my face. Brotherhood here in KBK is safe and will always be a safe place for all who are here now and those to come. To the fellow members, interest, and pledges that commit to embarking on this journey, I would say as I always say, its starts with us, but it continues with you. There’s Strength in the connection so stay connected.
Follow our Panda print and we’ll never lead you wrong!

Tawanna Young, AKA “T”, 34 years YOUNG. My born day is July 9. I was born and raised in Akron, Ohio. I attended high school with ya boy Lebron James at St. Vincent – St. Mary’s High School. Has a degree in Criminal Justice and Minor in Japanese. I am a Firefighter/Paramedic for the Akron Fire Department and Rittman Fire and Rescue. Before becoming a Firefighter, I was a corrections officer for 5 years. “Some of the best parts of being a Firefighter is the family atmosphere with my fellow brothers and sisters and being there to help someone on their worst day.” My wife is my world. I do not play about my Haley. Some of my passions are weight training, cooking, and playing video games. Fun fact, I eat with chopsticks every day.
As a Co-Founder and Secretary of Kappa Beta Kappa Fraternity, Incorporated, I find that it is my duty to “Keep it light and stay organized”. For this reason, my brothers refer to me as Frat Precision. I pride myself on being one of the goofier bros, but when it’s time for business I get it done. I strive to help my brothers be the best that they can be. I make it my goal to look at things as a circle with infinite lines instead of a box or straight line. I vow to help the members of Kappa Beta Kappa grow to be better individuals and positive advocates for their community!
