AND, THERE IS MORE TO COME!

The 2025-2026 Fiscal Year Brings Strategic Vision, Planning and Implementation unlike KD Public Relations has EVER seen. 

     The lists of things we have done is not fully exhaustive, as there is so much more that we have yet to add. 

     Being away from Public Relations as a core focus, emphasizing on mental health, taught our Executive Director a great deal about the Mission and Vision of what KD Public Relations was to do in this world: Create lasting change while fostering Hope and Creating Growth in a world who has been lied to by ways of Propaganda, Yellow Journalism, and Media Slant.

     Her Voice was Trapped in Trauma for many years, much like a lion who was caged in years of fear, imposter syndrome and low self-worth, even with all she had accomplished.

  She rises, this time, with a vision unlike anything she has ever seen, and with this, she is building a team, and letting God move her mountains. 

   She now is learning to use the Voice inside. Yes, she has the spirit of the Lion. Lions do not run in fear. They stand for all they know belongs to them.

Welcome to KD Public Relations!
