We had the good fortune of connecting with Kami Redd and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kami, what do you want people to remember about you?
That I helped someone! Although I’d like to be of services to the masses, I’d be satisfied knowing that I have truly changed someone’s life for the better. That’s all I want to leave behind.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’m an author & holistic healthcare provider by trade. My 5th book project “Peace & Blessings” will be released in April 2021. It takes you through 52 weeks of positive self talk, self care, & self love. With this book we are focused on healing & transforming self. It combines my expertise in yoga, meditation, & wellness. I’ve launched Peacefullyblessed.com to accompany the book. It features Blessed Beads Jewelry & Lit Blessings Spiritual Candles. But I recently resigned my post as CEO of NRI Wellness to take a position as Project Coordinator for Morris County Collaborative, a non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of the residents of Morris County, Texas. My journey to this destination began over 15yrs ago, I started out as chef & performer. Navigating my way through the culinary industry & the world of business was challenging yet life affirming. I knew FOOD was for me! Even after getting diagnosed with breast cancer, and not being able to physically stand in a kitchen I still aspired to work with food through nutrition & herbalism. Teaching others how to heal & prevent disease in their body through food. I still get to do that through my podcast 10 Dimensions of Wellness, where I interview experts in various areas of wellness providing you with relevant information to help you live your best life. With my current position with MCC, I get to be a community servant on a larger scale. My job doesn’t just consist of aiding people with nutrition & physical wellness. I now help implement programs in education, economic development, wellness, lifeskills, & so much more.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I currently reside in Tyler, Texas so our week would consist of meditation in the Tyler Rose Garden, picking berries at Blueberry Hill Farms, yoga in Tyler State Park, & a drive over to Dallas to hit some local small food locations.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to Shout-out Morris County Collaborative located in Morris County, Texas. They are doing some dynamic things in an underserved, uninsured, underdeveloped area.
