Keagan (L.K.P) shared their story and experiences with us recently and you can find our conversation below.
Hi Keagan, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: When have you felt most loved—and did you believe you deserved it?
I felt the most loved when I hosted my first ever housewarming party. It was something I’d dreamed about for years, especially because I never had many friends in Charlotte I could just call up. But once I pushed myself to interact, meet new people, and really build my tribe, everything changed. Seeing all my friend groups together – laughing, talking, eating the pizza and candy I put out, bringing gifts – it was surreal. When my good friend, Allison Friday, asked everyone to share how they first met me, it made the moment even more special. I felt completely deserving of that love because I had been so intentional about the friendships in that room, and it was the first time I truly saw the love I’d built around me.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Keagan, but most people know me as L.K.P or Lowkeyprose online. I show women how to flirt with life first and men second. I share my life and film the flirty conversations I have with strangers on the internet. I also host Chemistry Reads, a talk show where I interview interesting guests and break down how to flirt with their “archetype”. My book, The Art of Rizz, teaches the exact techniques and flirty lines I use to keep conversations magnetic. Even though I actually started as a poetry account – a true lover girl writing about love, life, and connection – finding ways to bring that poetic energy into real interactions is what built my platform today.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What was your earliest memory of feeling powerful?
My earliest memory of feeling powerful was 3 years ago, after a breakup that really shook me. I had been single for almost 10 years, finally met someone I liked enough to date, and the ending of that relationship hit me hard. But instead of spiraling into my usual patterns – the self-pity, the Talenti Gelato (Strawberry Margarita or Zesty Lemon, obviously) – I did the opposite. I got dressed, left my house, and went to a storytelling event at Petra’s where people shared intimate, sexy stories. I read some erotic poetry I’d written, and afterward I met this guy who became instantly obsessed, to the point of drawing a portrait of me less than 24 hours later. That was the moment I realized: oh, this is a skill. This charm, this mystery, this ability to make an impression – I can cultivate this. And that’s really where my confidence in flirting with anyone started.
What fear has held you back the most in your life?
The feeling of what I had to say didn’t matter. Growing up and even in early adulthood, I was interrupted a lot, treated like my thoughts weren’t important, and eventually I started believing that myself. So whenever I was upset, bullied, or hurt, I stayed silent because I thought speaking up wasn’t “important enough to disclose.” I let things slide and convinced myself that staying quiet was protecting my peace, when really I was just suffering privately with everything left unsaid. To this day, I’m still learning that my thoughts carry meaning simply because I think they do – that my voice has value even when my wounds have conditioned me otherwise. Unlearning that silence has been one of the hardest but most fulfilling things that I’ve done to honor my younger self.
I think our readers would appreciate hearing more about your values and what you think matters in life and career, etc. So our next question is along those lines. What’s a belief you used to hold tightly but now think was naive or wrong?
I used to believe women should approach men more – like a 60/40 split, with men doing most of the initiating but women still putting in a sizable amount. Now I see it more like 80/20. And it’s not that approaching is wrong, it’s just that after watching how more men actually respond in real life, I’ve realized women don’t have to do nearly as much as we think. All we really have to do is acknowledge a man’s existence and show that his presence is welcome near ours. Most people don’t do that because being seen is overstimulating – having your beauty noticed, your presence shifted, your energy changing around someone you like can feel alarming. But in my experience, a little goes the distance: hold eye contact, stand in his proximity, offer a drive-by compliment, and smirk. Men don’t get compliments the way women do, so even the smallest intentional gesture feels like flirting to them, and the ones who want you will instantly take the lead. You can literally wave at a man and he’ll walk over. Approaching is fine – I’ve done it plenty – but let’s be honest, women don’t have to do the heavy lifting for the connection to happen. Women choose and men pursue.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. Are you doing what you were born to do—or what you were told to do?
For a long time, I did what I was told to do – go to school, get the degree, the job, the car, check all the boxes – and did! Then, everyone told me I should be a model, so I moved in that direction too, even though it eventually took a darker turn for me. I struggled with body image, self-esteem, and insecurities I wasn’t prepared to carry, so I stepped back. Now the word ‘model’ has a completely different meaning to me. Instead, I’ve become more of a ‘role model’ – someone who connects, sees, and feels. Guiding millions of women across the world in flirting, confidence, and real human connection feels more aligned, not because I think I was “born” to do it, but because it’s the path that lets me do what I’m truly meant for: seeing people deeply. I’m not opposed to walking a catwalk here and there, but an Etsy witch told me I’m on the right path, so honestly, that’s all the confirmation I need.
