Our guest today is Kia Baker. Kia is the creator and host of “Hot Topics Live,” a live stream interview series, “The Female Veterans Podcast” and most recently - “Woman Warrior Stories” a new project for “The Veterans Channel.” After serving in the US Navy, she spent 20 years helping other veterans make the transition from active duty to civilian life. Kia's mission is to bring attention to the disparity between male and female veterans, shine a light on female veteran stories, help homeless female veterans and advocate for alternative therapies for sick and suffering veterans. She holds an MBA in Finance and Accounting and is also an alumni of the Milton Hershey School. And Kia works closely with Passageways LTD, a foundation that helps homeless veterans transition back to thriving in life, and The Barbara Giordano Foundation - volunteering to give transformational workshops to female veterans. In addition Kia is a member of the board for Hope 4 Veterans, a nonprofit that offers peer support to female veterans residing in Florida. She is a graduate from The London Real Academy and is now a success coach there, teaching the rapid transformation Accelerators.
