A little bit about Keisha Green
If there is one consistency in my life, it is that there has been a solid foundation of tenacity, perseverance, and excellence. These qualities have set me apart and created a dynamic force to be reckoned with, catapulting me into my life’s passion as an entrepreneur, sought-after motivational speaker, life strategist/life coach, and author.
I’m from Syracuse, New York. I am the fourth of five children. At the tender age of nine, I began to assist my mother, who was a single mom, in the care of my siblings, while my mother worked to provide for the family.
On the accident that changed her life forever.
Then, in the blink of an eye… on August 23, 2013, I was involved in a car accident that would change my world forever. It is only by the grace and mercy of God that I, the mother of three, a strident college student, a successful businesswoman, and an entrepreneur, made it out alive. The accident was so horrific that the dreaded “Jaws of Life” was used to free me from the vehicle.
My right leg was dismembered to release me from the vehicle, and my left leg was severed instantly from impact by the guardrail at the scene of the accident. The doctors said that I would be hospitalized for at least one year. Miraculously, through prayers and faith from my children, family, and friends, I emerged from the hospital in three weeks from the accident and left the hospital.
That’s right! My world had changed, but my passion and purpose and earthly assignment had taken on their predestined form. I understood. Not only did He choose me, but I would inspire others by empowering them through hope.
On finding a headway after the accident
I continued running my business while preparing to walk again and is now using what most thought was a tragedy as a triumph of the power of the spirit! I discovered my true purpose and calling while embarking upon a spiritual journey through the unexpected turns of life that led to the light of new beginnings and new chapters.
I discovered that my true purpose and calling is to inspire, empower, enlighten, and enrich the minds, lives, and spirits of others. This has led to the launching of my inspirational and life strategy speaking series titled “Ticket To Transformation,” which led to my groundbreaking one-on-one, intense life coaching sessions. I’ve had an intense adventure in life expansion and mental, spiritual, and financial growth.
On her career after the accident
When I am not traveling globally as a keynote or motivational speaker, I am volunteering my time and services to my church, schools, nonprofits, and community organizations. I am a creative writer, engaging speaker, insightful presenter, and skilled life strategist.
I reside in Atlanta, Georgia, where my three sons serve as inspiration for a life well lived. My story is still being written, and the best is yet to come. I Am Keisha Green!
