ABOUT OUR GUEST

Kym Ali is a Registered Nurse who spent five years abroad traveling the world while developing her professional career “Until she tragically lost her job to systemic racism and had to relocate back to the States. Two weeks after returning home, her niece passed away at college.

“The stress took a toll on me. Two days after my niece passed away, I had a heart attack in my “30’s.

Kym knew she had to stop being strong, like so many women of color do, and take care of her physical and mental health. After several unsuccessful therapy sessions, Kym knew she had to take matters into her own hands. Kym began to heal herself by becoming a mental health coach and behavior change specialist and now she’s back to living her best life. Kym now supports healthcare facilities and Fortune 500 corporations by creating healthy and inclusive workplace settings. Her work has been featured on FOX, CBS and NBC and Voice of America.
