Kawanza Billy

K.Billy Push
Founder/Social Impact Strategist
Washington, District of Columbia

I'm founder and CEO of K.Billy Push, a consulting company dedicated to creating and improving social impact initiatives. Using thought partnership, strategic planning and capacity building, I develop innovative solutions and results that matter. When I'm not igniting the light of others, I'm serving as Chapter Leader for the National Cervical Cancer Coalition helping women, family members and caregivers battle the personal issues related to cervical cancer and HPV and to advocate for cervical health in all women by promoting prevention.
Talk to me about social impact, public engagement, professional and personal development and storytelling.
