About Katurah

Resilient. Empowering. Changemaker.

If you would have told the scared 10 year old girl (who’d been ripped from elementary school, forced to perform daily slave labor for 12-16 hours daily,  and repeatedly told that she’d never be educated or amount to anything other than a baby making machine) that she would one day speak to and inspire millions of people –yeah, I wouldn't have believed you either. 

But here I am today, as an award-winning Lawyer, Motivational Speaker, and Mental Health Advocate, living proof that resilience and determination can transform even the most challenging circumstances into a life of purpose and empowerment.
