Right to Life of Louisville invites you to join us at our 2026 Annual Celebration of Life at the Crowne Plaza! Every year since 1974 Right to Life of Louisville has brought quality, prolife individuals like Rep. Henry Hyde, Dr. Alan Keyes, and Christian recording artist Mark Schultz to the Louisville area. This isn’t just any event, it’s a wonderful evening of food, drink, fellowship, and awards!

We are excited to welcome Kaya Jones as our featured speaker!
Grammy-winning gospel artist Kaya Jones is widely known for her transformation from Pussycat Doll to Christian vocalist. But she also uses her powerful voice to advocate, educate, and inspire others. Her refreshing mix of passion and transparency makes her a sought-after keynote speaker who inspires, encourages, and motivates listeners. With the launch of her new podcast, “Blessed” on her own Shiloah.tv streaming network, Kaya is taking her message beyond the one million followers she reaches on social media.
A staunch advocate for life, Kaya is most frequently asked to share the story of the abortions she was pressured into having while working in the music industry. In 2024, she headlined both the West Coast Walk for Life in San Francisco and the Rally for Life Ireland in Dublin. More recently, she appeared on the season premiere episode of “Politely Rude with Abby Johnson,” hosted by the pro-life champion and former Planned Parenthood clinic director. Kaya’s message of honest regret and humble redemption moves audiences with compassion that typical culture war speakers miss. Listeners leave with a renewed commitment to value the unborn and lift up the women scarred by their own choices.
Kaya’s first-hand experience in the entertainment business positions her uniquely to address the impacts of Hollywood on our society. The abuse she endured fuels a strong desire to protect young artists and children in general from predatory influences and human trafficking. Her hard-won lessons help those following in her footsteps avoid common pitfalls and navigate the industry with their standards intact. She’s passed her wisdom along to rising stars at the International Christian Film Festival, where she was invited to host in 2024 and serve as a panelist and presenter in 2025. Forging a new path in the faith-based film industry, Kaya will appear in a supporting role in the film “The 11th Hour,” scheduled for release in the fall of 2025.
Years of trying to fit the mold her handlers created have taught her to value who she was created to be, and who those around her were, too. Each human was made who they were intended to be, by a God who will never leave them – a message she reiterates to a generation that desperately needs to hear it. This faith is what sustained her through difficult circumstances that have set many in Hollywood on destructive paths. She aspires to set a positive example and guard the next generation the way she wishes others would have protected her.
Unfortunately, Hollywood isn’t the only place that left Kaya with scars. Like many, she’s suffered church hurt that challenged her understanding and her faith. Rather than run from the Lord, she chased Him, enrolling in Hebrew Bible College and diving deeply into the Old and New Testaments. She came out with a deeper, richer understanding of scripture and a faith in Jesus that she’s eager to share. She spent several months in the Holy Land shortly after her classes ended, volunteering her time serving local children and Israeli soldiers. Her first-hand experiences have convicted her of the need to strengthen relationships between Jews and Christians, and to play as much of a role as possible in the process.
But the former Pussycat Doll has not abandoned her first claim to fame – the vocal chops with which God gifted her. In 2019, Kaya earned a Grammy for her work with Christian artist Jason Crabb. She has her sights again set on the Grammys as she releases her first solo gospel album, “The Royal Collection,” in late 2025. This compilation of contemporary Christian/crossover releases has a philanthropic focus, and one of its early singles, “Treasured,” is slated for use in a docufilm by the same name. The song and film are part of the Treasured Foundation’s greater, coordinated effort to relieve suffering at Korah through job creation, housing development, and empowerment programs. The film will be released on her Shiloah TV streaming network later this year.
