Katrina
Walker is an outstanding example of how to beat the odds when they are
stacked against you and is passing on her strength through the development an anti-domestic violence foundation.
The founder of the RainboKidz Learnign Center in Tennesse has developed another support mechanism for the community, the BE (Blind Eye) Foundation, whose mission and motto
is to "BE the difference and not turn a Blind Eye to society."
The
experience of being in an abusive relationship, both mental and
physical, allowed her a keen sense for spotting those in similar crisis inspired BE.
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.
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.

"I
consider myself a motivator-not a motivational speaker. Everyone has a
story. Everyone goes through trials and tribulations. I don't speak to
or at people. I communicate and connect with them instead. I help others
with good old fashioned advice-financially, socially, mentally, and
spiritually. I motivate people to get up and achieve their goals, start
that new business, go after that promotion. How to tell that woman or
man you want to get to know them or how to leave that bad relationship.
I've been there. I motivate people to stop making excuses, stop saying
'can't do', and I'm going to use all my experiences to show you how."
