Author Bio

Three words adequately describe the Reverend Doctor  Milton Keys: Preacher, Teacher and Producer.  Keys uses these three gifts to change the world.  Although he was born with cerebral palsy, and a bleak diagnosis, Milton has let nothing stop him from achieving his goals.   Despite being given a two-year life expectancy and being supposed to have severe cognitive disabilities, Milton has earned 3 degrees.  He has produced and released 13 musical albums, 4 plays, 1 ballet, held 8 youth summits, and completed numerous small projects in the last two and a half decades. As a disability theologian, Dr. Keys has been working to promote the rights of people with disabilities and to create a more inclusive society. His writings and speeches are aimed at inspiring and empowering people to overcome their challenges and to achieve their goals.  Keys is the founder and executive director of Advocates Embassy, an organization that helps churches create environments where people with disabilities feel safe, are welcomed, and have access to abundant life.  In 2025, AE released Dr. Key’s first book,  Finding My Place: A Devotional About Disability and the Human Experience. Dr. Keys is an ambassador from a world without boundaries.
