Kemiah Carter is the CEO and Founder of KD Training Institute. Her journey into this work is both personal and professional. Having experienced and studied the impact of trauma, she understands how profoundly it can shape individuals, families, and communities. These experiences have fueled her lifelong commitment to building a movement where healing, resilience, and compassion take the lead.

With over a decade of experience, Kemiah has bridged lived experience with professional expertise to design trainings, workshops, and resources that equip professionals with the tools they need to respond with empathy and understanding. She firmly believes that trauma-informed care is not a trend but the best practice for creating sustainable change. Her vision is to ensure organizations recognize the humanity behind behaviors, reduce re-traumatization, and foster environments where healing is possible.

Through KD Training Institute, Kemiah is leading the way in transforming how care is delivered across agencies and communities. Her leadership is guided by the belief that systems should not only serve people they should help heal them.
