Biography

Community activist and former gang member Kershaun "Lil Monster" Scott has served as a consultant for national media organizations, most notably to ABC's Ted Koppel in the wake of 1992's Los Angeles riots when he became the unofficial "voice of urban America", appearing on "Nightline" three times to explain inner-city unrest for a national audience. On Oprah, Koppel declared one of his interviews with Scott to be "among the most memorable of my career". Appearing on CNN with Larry King on multiple occasions, Scott voiced his opinions on such issues as the realities of prison life, the execution of Crips founder Stanley 'Tookie' Williams and the questionable leadership of 'Rebuild L.A.' chairman Peter Ueberroth whom he personally confronted live on the air during a broadcast. L.A. Weekly has featured Scott in four major articles dealing with gang life (1993), male identity (1999), domestic abuse (2002) and social justice (2004). Major non-fiction books published by Atlantic Monthly, HarperCollins and William Morrow, among others, have referenced his life and work. Scott, who studied history at Long Beach State, once served as chief of security for Tupac Shakur during a concert tour and has frequently been employed as a creative consultant in the entertainment industry. Currently, Kershaun Scott is embarking upon a career as a writer and producer for film and television.
