providing self-esteem enhancing workshops for girls that uplift, educate, and motivate! In order to expand the scope and mission of

PEARL Girls, Keisha launched a non-profit branch of the organization in 2008, PEARL Girls of Promise, Inc., which has awarded over

$35,000 worth of college scholarships to Dallas area high school graduates. To date, thousands of girls have been empowered by their

participation in programs o�ered by both PEARL Girls and PEARL Girls of Promise, Inc. In fact, mega-star Beyoncé’ recognized Keisha

and the PEARL Girls in 2014 as she gave PEARL Girls the #Beygood endorsement.

the University of North Texas. She possesses a State Board of Educator Certification in both Teaching and Professional School Counsel-

ing. Keisha is also a Certified Life Coach Practitioner, and Certified Etiquette Consultant who has been nominated for the Cambridge

Who’s Who of America’s Professional and Executive Women award.

EDUCATORThrough her over 10 years of combined experience as both a School Counselor and Teacher, Keisha developed a knack for working

with youth and helping them excel. Her strength is developing relationships with them which enables girls and young women to connect

and feel comfortable with her.

INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKERKeisha is a sought after nationally recognized speaker who has delivered hundreds of presentations to girls, young women, and

mothers. She brings a whole lot of girl-power wherever she goes! Her educational, interactive, and down-to-earth approach captivates

her audiences’ hearts while motivating them with self-love and teaching positive life-skills. Keisha speaks to audiences at elementary,

middle, and high school assemblies, and well as colleges, conferences, luncheons, churches, summer camp programs, parent meetings,

young adult summits and more.

LIFE COACH FOR GIRLS, YOUNG WOMEN, & THEIR PARENTSBeing a girl in today’s world is tough, and Keisha gets it. Having grown up in a blended family while struggling with a poor self-esteem

and body image issues during most of her teenage years, Keisha can relate to the issues that girls face today. Now passionate about

the life-changing results she experienced in her own life, Keisha is on a mission to impart confidence, coping skills, and positive social

skills to young girls and women everywhere. She coaches girls and young women to gain confidence, character, and class by helping

them learn how to truly love themselves, understand healthy decision making, appreciate their inner-beauty, set goals, and so much

more. She is also a resource for parents as she has a knack for bridging the gap in communication between girls and their parents so

that both parties are heard, understood, and can bond with one another during those pivotal teen years. Coach Keisha loves to

educate parents on the latest trends, hot topics, and issues as it relates to girls growing up in today’s generation.

AUTHORKeisha’s first book, “The Inner-Beauty Secret”, is a 2015 Gold Award recipient from the Mom's Choice Awards. “The Inner-Beauty Secret”,

a picture book for children (ages 3-8), teaches youth the importance of the character traits that are found within. Topics such as trustwor-

thiness, kindness, respect, and responsibility are covered. Body image appreciation is also addressed as children are encouraged to

find genuine beauty within while also learning to accept themselves, di�erences and all. This book is a fun tool for parents to read with

their children as a way to introduce the principles of inner-beauty and character. It can also be used in small group counseling sessions,

or it can be read as a single story to an entire class to teach Character Education.

Coach Keisha is currently working on her second book targeted towards Middle School aged girls.

REGULAR GALWhen not coachin', speakin', or plannin' programs for PEARL Girls, Keisha enjoys volunteering at her

church, kicking it with her friends and family, taking her furry babies (her dogs) to the dog park, trying

out new restaurants (although she almost ALWAYS orders the same thing - fried catfish), and going to

see the latest movies on the big screen. She is OBSESSED with the color pink, she sings and dances

while she drives, in fact - she's a crazy good Beyonce’ imitator, she's also a fingernail polish nut, and like

lots of girls; she believes that glitter makes everything better!

Keisha Howard is a passionate communicator and girls’ self-esteementhusiast who is making a positive impact in the lives of girls,

young women, and the people who care about them.

SURVIVE AND THRIVE WITH YOUR TEEN DAUGHTER(FOR ADULT EVENTS)

What’s tougher than being a teen girl? Being a teen girl’s mother, of course! One thing we know for sure is that mothers love their daughters more than anything. But, what can you do when your daughter won’t talk to you about anything? She’s always on social media, her friends have changed, and sometimes it feels like she’s not telling you everything. All too often, Moms feel like they’re walking on eggshells in their own home; that constant worrying about where your daughter is, what she’s really doing, and who she’s meeting online keeps you up all night. You can’t help but wonder if she is depressed—or maybe it’s you that’s depressed! Guilt, anger, and worry can be constant companions for moms with teenage daughters. At these events, Coach Keisha empowers moms with knowledge and education on the latest hot topics, lingo, trends, and signs to look for in the girls of today.

Common motivational speaking /workshop topics for parents are:• Understanding what it’s like to be in a girl in today’s world• Understanding Social Media Platforms and how girls are affected by them• Understanding Media Madness/Celebrity Worship and how it affects girls• Understanding Body Image/ Self-esteem issues• Understanding tween/teen developmental issues• Do’s and don’ts on approaching your daughter• Rebuilding a loving, connected, and honest relationship• Setting boundaries and respecting one another

REVIEWS

“Thank you for speaking at our annual Girl’s Retreat. The topic was on point and extremely beneficial to our participants. We have and continue to receive many wonderful comments from our attendees about how much they enjoyed the presentation. Your ability to share your own experiences and relate them to real life situations touched not just the teen participants, but also women of all ages. Many women walked away that day, reminded of their own personal struggles with self-esteem, understanding how positive thinking and having the right attitude can transform their lives, and feeling more empowered to assist our youth!” – Stacie W. – Girls Inc.

“Coach Keisha is a dynamic speaker who has a way of captivating and motivating her young audience. Her approach on sharing the importance of SELF- preservation, HIGH-standards and morality is needed in our communities. Most importantly, students walk away with the tools needed to help them confront high stakes social situations, such as bullying, smoking, drinking, drugs, eating disorders etc., as well as other personal obstacles. Her audience is not limited to only young ladies as students of all ages and backgrounds can benefit from hearing her powerful message.” – Adriana Fletes – Prosper ISD

“Coach Keisha, I just wanted to let you know that my two girls had a great time on Saturday. I also wanted to thank you for dedicat-ing your talents, gifts, and time to the great cause of building up our young women. I truly believe that, “it takes a village” and the moments that you provide for girls are unforgettable. They leave lasting impressions that not even a mother can give to her daughter. Please know that moms like me appreciate you and your vision and most of all, “the girls are still talking about you”! We look forward to many more moments.” – Susan D. – Proud Mom

"Coach Keisha was exactly what we were looking for in a guest speaker for our annual girls conference! Her ability to connect to a room was e�ortless. Her message was relatable, relevant and easy for the girls to identify with! We look forward to having her back!" – Regina R. Williams – Fort Worth ISD

“I attended a Woman’s Conference hosted by El Centro Colleges West campus. My very favorite part of the conference was the Business Etiquette training, brought to us by Keisha Howard. Coach Keisha provided us with invaluable information that we can use in our everyday lives in addition to the work place. Keisha was very relatable and approachable. I liked her training so much that I referred her to my younger sister’s Girls Scout Troop leader, so that she could present an etiquette class to those young ladies. Keisha brought the same knowledge, and lovely spirit that she did to our conference, to the girls in the Girl Scout troop. Keisha is here to help females; matters not their age. The lady may be 10 or she may be 50, Keisha has something that can benefit every woman. – Valorie J. – El Centro Community College

Coach Keisha is fluent in both “adult-talk” and “girl-talk” so her speaking presentations are not only educational, they are real and delivered in a way that girls understand and pay attention to. -– Christina S – Proud Mom

“One of Coach Keisha’s most valuable assets is that that she uses her life experience to empower others to learn how not to be pulled down by limiting beliefs that society tends to impose on our young women. Our group was very fortunate to have spent an afternoon with her. Her boundless energy and enthusiasm for empowering our teens is highly contagious.” – Carolyn J. – We Are Strong Girls, Inc. “Coach Keisha visited our school and was a true inspiration to our girls. Keisha was able to make an immediate impact, and her best asset was making a real connection with all the girls; she had so much energy and was real! If you know a girl in need, or simply want to make a di�erence in the lives of other young women, Coach Keisha will deliver! Because of Coach Keisha’s talk with our girls, our junior high actually changed its school motto! Our new

motto: “At SJH our students were born to shine”, came directly from Coach Keisha’s presentation! Coach Keisha touched so many in just a short time. Here in Sunray America, we think she rocks! – Brandy H. – Sunray Junior High School
