Kyerra was born in the City of East Saint Louis, IL. A city that has a population of fewer than 24,000 residents. This has never stopped her from wanting to maintain the cities motto " The City of Champions". Many may find it hard to believe, especially after a story such as hers, that at age 8 Kyerra would witness the horrific death of her parents; leaving a scar and story that would last forever. She tells a story of growing up in the city of East Saint Louis, the dilemmas of having aspirations while watching the influences around her. She continues on to talk about college, divorce, children and finally VICTORY. Kyerra is no stranger to obstacles and a championship win, one would call her experiences a loss or the ability to be counted out or cast away but she believes that with God, she is to repeat them with sounds of will power and motivation; never believing that anyone should give up or give in; just break through.

Co-founder of a tech-start-up that served 22 cities across Asia, and first female President of the biggest mobile association in Singapore (an initiative of the Singapore Government), Tahira was traumatized by intense domestic problems and had a total disconnect with her Higher Self. Eventually, this led her to a nervous breakdown. 2014 was the turning-point-year when she placed a grinding halt to her 18 year business, and made a decision to plunge into the elusive world of storytelling. Like a caterpillar sealed in its womb for a massive transformation, she took extreme measures to re-mould herself. For the first 9 months, she immersed herself into a self-induced solitary confinement. She read, researched, wrote, prayed and meditated, and for the most part of it food was limited to one small meal a day or sometimes nothing. Through the Golden Door: The Doorway to Our Advancement was birthed. This 426-page award-winning book seamlessly integrates more than 9 disciplines (Arts & Sciences) to deliver a profound message. A first miracle that she was able to write a thick and deep novel in such a short time. A second miracle that she became a confident public speaker when she had temporarily lost her voice for an entire year at age 14. The root cause was when at the tender age 13, she was taken away and molested by strangers at midnight while in Pakistan. Breaking past all limitations to “voice-less” to finding her “voice”, Tahira’s passion overflowed to enraptured readers, stoic in a mission to impart her wisdom and to help others find their Purpose and Calling. She aims to help others open up their multi-dimensional (dormant) selves so that they can reach their unbounded potential. She will also guide them to find their Calling, which is something elusive and, if left undiscovered, they may just miss it out in their lifetime. Through her seminars and workshops, the objective is to create free but responsible individuals who can live with harnessing a maximum power within themselves. Participants will be called on to examine their own mind-sets and how they live their daily lives. They will be introduced to key techniques for real world application. They will also be introduced to the concept of thriving by understanding the ‘Law of Circulation’ by Through the Golden Door. This keynote inspires and fascinates the audience by bringing in science, spirituality and real world business and life into context. It aims to be the first step for the audience to transform in becoming what they never quite imagined. 'Very thought-provoking and helped to bring clarity to life's challenges and dilemmas. It has helped me formulate plans for the future and reinforcing some past decisions.' ~ Jeevan Kumaran, Senior Manager, CISCO “Tahira, as an advocate for unity & utilitarianism, has mixed-and-matched teachings from various strong pillars, not an easy task at all!” ~ Kristian Daria Zuriel, Business Owner

My name is Warren Handley. I am a South African who was born into a comfortable life of privilege. This could have been the end of my story, had I not heard the story of Sello Moloto - an orphaned 22 month old girl in a rural village having to fend for herself. In 2017, Tom David and I climbed the highest mountain in Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro - and walked over 3000 miles through six countries back home to South Africa, living on $2 a day. In a story of extreme pain and even greater kindness, lessons learned and challenges overcome, we have a message to share. In November 2018 we published 'Walk With Us' as a vehicle for change. We want people to realize that not everyone has to walk 3000 miles to make a difference.
