“The collaboration with community partners like Kia Lanae Coleman strengthens Charlotte Family Housing’s commitment and ability in empowering working families experiencing homelessness to achieve self-sufficiency. Speaking at two of our Family Empowerment Summits, Ms. Coleman demonstrated an authentic heart for the families we serve, proactively educated herself about our operations, and enthusiastically supports our empowerment model. With her energetic and positive presentation style, Ms. Coleman powerfully inspires families to pursue healthy work, family, and friend relationships, compassionately and effectively responding to
families’ many questions. As this year’s Summit keynote speaker, Ms. Coleman encouraged families that it is never too late to reinvent themselves, regardless of their life stage or circumstances. It is for this reason that families overwhelmingly ask her to return to future
events! Thank you, Ms. Coleman, for your transformational support.”

Kia was the emcee for an event I attended and she did an amazing job! She kept the crowd engaged and knows how to work a room. I’d come here her speak anytime! Awesome job at the Love That Last Gala!

“Kia is a dynamic, inspiring leader and speaker. I recommend her to all professionals looking to reset how they approach communication, work, and life. Her Communicate with Confidence workshop made a tangible difference to my mindset at a difficult, self-doubting time. The strategies and tools in the workshop were well-designed for a wide range of professionals, but
you still felt like she was talking directly to your own experience. Strongly recommend!”

“I contacted Kia Lanae to speak at my women’s retreat for entrepreneurs and leaders, Breakthrough to Purpose, in November of 2016. When I interviewed Kia, my intuition told me she would be perfect for the retreat. After contracting all speakers, I had to select the order in which they would speak. I selected Kia to kickoff the retreat. I wanted the women to feel inspired, empowered, and ready to do the work the weekend required. I wanted the women to leave the retreat with next steps to fulfill their purpose. Kia did not disappoint. Her presentation (Say Yes to You) was aligned with the overall objectives. She established rapport, brought
energy and enthusiasm. The women were inspired and empowered as evidenced by their feedback verbal and written. I could not have asked for a more perfect delivery. If you are considering Kia as a speaker for your event, I highly recommend her. Her professionalism, knowledge of her industry, and love for what she does is unparalleled.”

“As a professional personal trainer, “I am in the business of empowering others and when I heard Kia speak I knew exactly what she was in the business of – Empowerment! Kia is an exceptional speaker who speaks from the heart! She is powerful, personable and motivating! I would recommend her for any motivational speaking engagement as an amazing instrument of change for any person or company. For inspiration, motivation and a real powerful way to inspire, I recommend Kia Lanae, she will amaze her listeners.”

“Kia is an amazing young women. She did a wonderful job motivating the young people as MC of the 2016 National Family Empowerment Conference in Charlotte, NC! She is a powerful speaker that knows how to reach the hearts and minds of people
of all ages.

“Kia is an exceptional young lady. She is wise and sensitive beyond her years and has a heart that has known struggle and grief and has risen above it to be a powerful witness to the world. She has an uncanny ability to be both impactful and soft spoken at the same time, which allows her to minister to a wide variety of people with equal success. As a volunteer for Pink Ribbon Connection, we found her to be reliable, passionate and compelling as she worked to help raise money for breast cancer patients and engage new volunteers for the cause.”
