KATRINA WALKER
Katrina Walker is an outstanding example of how to beat the
odds when they are stacked against you. As an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and
motivator, she took being a witness to cultural, domestic, and financial tumult
and converted what she learned into a motivational tool to fight victimhood.
Walker went from being a struggling teen bride, to a divorced mother of four,
to a trailblazer who has over the past 25 years built thriving enterprises;
including a 24-hour day care center, multiple real estate holdings, a record
label, and state-of-the-art recording studio-all while becoming a self-made
millionaire.
Her renowned Tennessee based RainbowKidz Learning Center is
currently expanding into a national brand, while Walker is being busily pursued
as a motivating life coach, with personal stories that demonstrate that
anything is possible. For over the past two decades her philanthropic, hands-on
support has helped turn hardworking individuals into successful business
owners; providing them with step-by-step guidance on how to start a business,
hire employees, manage a budget, select locations, and take advantage of
marketing to realize their full earning potential.
The experience of being in an abusive relationship, both
mental and physical, allowed her a keen sense for spotting those in similar
crisis, and out of this has grown yet another community supportive enterprise
at Walker's helm: the BE (Blind Eye) Foundation, whose mission and motto is to
"BE the difference and not turn a Blind Eye to society." With the
impact of her encouraging words and motherly guidance-often delivered through
her sassy, tell-it-straight, southern style-she is using the BE foundation to
launch ongoing, nationally aired PSA's that will weave a true picture of
domestic violence-chronicling the cycle of abuse from male and female
perspectives. Not only will her media campaign shine the light on often
undiscussed areas of abuse, she will narrate solutions, encouraging a way out
of victim-hood.
Katrina Walker has taken adversity and transformed her life
into a true American success story. She now continues on her mission to help
others find their own positive transformations.
Walker is writing her memoir with award-winning journalist
Clarence Waldron, former Jet senior writer and editor, who was mentored by the
late best-selling author and poet, Dr. Maya Angelou.
