Certified international practitioner of holistic medicine, multiracial author, keynote speaker, voice-over actor, and advocate for inclusion and diversity—these roles define Kimberly, known by her nom de plume, Kim Yarbrough. A highly recommended and seasoned professional writer, she has consulted with both established and emerging authors, as well as former members of the FBI and other federal and state agencies.

Based in Little Rock, Arkansas, Kimberly actively contributes to the Prison Outreach: The Storybook Project and is a proud member of the Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators. She also serves on the Pulaski Council for the Arkansas Literacy Association, the International Literacy Association, and is involved with the Little Rock Junior League and the Gamma Nu chapter of Eta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated. As the co-founder, owner, and executive therapist of Black Label Lipo, she is a trailblazer in the telehealth movement, emphasizing whole body wellness. Her innovative approach empowers patients to take charge of their health, fostering self-advocacy and informed decision-making.

Beyond her telehealth initiatives, Kimberly mentors' clients globally, creating a supportive community of individuals dedicated to holistic wellness. She inspires a new generation of health advocates by highlighting the critical importance of education and accessibility in healthcare improvement.

Kimberly is also a contributing author and illustrator for the 2023 anthology A Southern Storytellers Anthology: Writing Our Lives, where she shares her powerful story of resilience after being on a ventilator due to COVID-19, transforming obstacles into opportunities for empowerment.

In her latest book, Girl Power, best-selling author Phyllis Hodges celebrates "World Changers" like Kimberly, who encourage, enlighten, motivate, and empower women. Kimberly’s journey as an adoptee facing discrimination and the complexities of being a multiracial child is featured on page 123.

As a passionate advocate for multicultural education and inclusion, Kimberly collaborates with literary contributors such as international author and publisher Iris M. Williams on the children’s book QUEENIE, which addresses themes of acceptance and self-worth. Following her work on QUEENIE, Kim was commissioned to write the foreword for L.M. Sewell's novella HE IS...MY EVERYTHING (Volume I).

Continuing her freelance work, Kim recently released FRANNIE AND THE BIG BIRTHDAY WISH, which tells the story of soon-to-be twelve-year-old Frannie as she grapples with her desire for straight hair like her friends and models. This beautifully illustrated tale of self-discovery, friendship, and family resonates with readers from all backgrounds, showcasing a successful business owner and single Black father—an often overlooked narrative in diverse literature.

Reflecting on her childhood, Kim shares, "Growing up as a multiracial child, I cannot recall one storybook that featured a character like me. My experience is shared by many, including my own children today. Sadly, there are still few books available for minority children, and even fewer in schools and public libraries where they belong." Kim encourages readers to embrace the 'Buy Two, Give One' initiative when purchasing her books. By donating a copy to a local school or library, you can help ensure immediate access to diverse literature for everyone.

As a respected community leader, Kim tirelessly addresses the achievement gap for culturally and economically diverse students and their families through art, literacy, diversity, and inclusion, championing a brighter future for all.
