The Rev. Dr. LaKeesha Walrond is an educator, visionary leader, sought-after speaker, and change agent who has dedicated her life to calling women into their infinite possibilities. She is a dynamic voice who has spoken across more than 20 U.S. states and engaged audiences internationally—including in Ghana, South Africa, India, and beyond.
A native Texan and proud Spelman College alumnae, Dr. Walrond holds a Ph.D. in Special Education from UNC Chapel Hill and a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary. She served for twenty years at First Corinthian Baptist Church in Harlem, and as the first woman President of New York Theological Seminary—where she championed education inside prison walls, graduating 16 incarcerated women from a new degree program.
In 2019, Mayor Bill de Blasio named October 26 "Rev. LaKeesha Walrond Day" in New York City.

a “girls trip”
a sightseeing tour
a vacation
a curated, intimate, transformational experience
a guided healing journey rooted in history and identity
a sacred space for high-capacity women to reset and realign
Professionally accomplished but personally depleted
Used to leading—but craving space to be held
Open to spiritual and cultural transformation
Willing to invest in yourself without apology
