There’s a version of Kimberli’s story that starts with the accomplishments.

Her success and leadership as a finance executive. The thriving Irish pub she co-owns. The books she has written, including Beyond the Lies. The platform she built to help others stop letting their past define what is possible. That version is true.

But it is not the whole story.

The fuller story starts in Atlanta, in a home where money was always short and uncertainty was often loud. It starts with a little girl who learned to read the room before she learned to believe there was room for her. It includes pain, loss, and experiences that could have convinced her to live small.

But somewhere along the way, Kimberli made a decision that changed everything: the stories her circumstances were telling her were lies.

She became the first in her family to earn a college degree — not because the path was clear, but because she chose to challenge the lie that she was not capable. That choice became a pattern. One brave step became another. And over time, she built a life that once felt impossible.

That is the heartbeat of Choose Forward.

Through her platform, Choose Forward, Kimberli helps audiences break free from the lies that their circumstances, past choices, fear, failure, and rejection have told them about what is possible — and reclaim the truth that none of them define it. Her message is grounded in honest storytelling, faith-rooted conviction, practical wisdom, humor, and lived transformation — equipping people to reclaim their value and take brave, intentional steps toward lasting change.

Kimberli does not speak from theory. She speaks with the conviction of someone who has had to choose forward when giving up would have made sense. Her message is not about resilience as a personality trait. It is about decision — the brave, repeated decisions that move people beyond momentary inspiration and into practical action.

Audiences leave feeling seen, challenged, and equipped to choose forward — one brave choice at a time.
