Kenneth Clay, an Army and Air Force veteran, stands as the Founder and Executive Director of the Society For Veterans Entertainment (S4VE). His journey to establish a creative haven for Black artists who have served in the Armed Forces stems from his own challenges in reintegrating into civilian life after grappling with PTSD. Kenneth found himself at a crossroads until his childhood friend, the esteemed filmmaker Coodie Simmons, extended an invitation to join his production company, Creative Control.

Since 2007, Kenneth has been an integral part of realizing Coodie's visionary projects, starting as a production assistant and ascending to roles of field producer and now assistant director. His contributions span across commercials, music videos, and acclaimed documentaries such as "The Kid from Coney Island," "Muhammad Ali: The People’s Champ," "Benji," "Point Gods," "Kendall Cross," and "The First to Do It," which earned NAACP Image Awards.

Outside of his professional endeavors, Ken dedicates his free time to serving his community, volunteering with organizations like The Mission Continues and the Marcus Garvey Park Alliance. Through his multifaceted commitment, Ken continues to make meaningful contributions both in the entertainment industry and in supporting his fellow veterans.
