At just 23 years old, Kimberly Wilson’s accomplishments and experience as an event planner, publicist, writer,  law student, publisher, promoter, educator, organizer, activist and philanthropist have established her as one of a kind. Following the notion, to whom much is given, much is expected, Kimberly consistently sets high personal standards and goals. Never satisfied by the norm, Kimberly is motivated by service, change and human need.

Academically Kimberly has always been very successful. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree with a Honors citations in Communication from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2009, she immediately enrolled in  the Juris Doctorate program at Howard University in Washington D.C. specializing in the field of entertainment and sports law. Professionally, Kimberly could never be overlooked! Her professional level, hands-on experience in music, television production, radio promotions, writing, and corporate communication place her ahead of the rest. Kimberly started off her career in the entertainment industry while in high school in New York interning at Clear Channel Communications. As the first intern ever hired from high school, she was on a path to success. From there, during her undergraduate career she interned in Corporate Communications at XM Satellite Radio, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (Grammys) spearheading the Grammy U Representative and then worked at BET Corporate Headquarters in Off Channel Marketing and Promotions and as a Marketing Representative in D.C. for several years while attending the University of Maryland, College Park. Just recently, Kimberly served as the Communications and Programs Assistant for the Prostate Health Education Network, where she helped plan and coordinate the African American Prostate Health Disparity Summit during the Congressional Black Caucus’ 2010 Annual Legislative Conference. She is also currently the co-producer of ‘The Diva Lounge,’  – an exclusive networking event series in NYC, DC and ATL for females in the entertainment industry with Shayna D of Sirius XM Radio. In February of 2010 Kimberly was also named one of Washington D.C.’s “Top 30 Under 30” by WKYS and one of the Top Young Entrepreneurs to Watch in 2010. In addition, she currently works in the legal department at Radio One, Inc and is very excited about joining IMPACT-DC in the summer of 2011.
