HerStory.

Kimberly Henderson is a fun and emerging creative entrepreneur from the great city of Dayton, Ohio. Kimberly is Traptastic Nutrition Enthusiast. She doesn’t stay in the lane Kimmers owns it. Her titles/names are many: daughter, sister, auntie, author, blogger, friend, communicator, influencer, negotiator, and motivator. She received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications from Central State University.

People are her passion. Her desire to help others came from seeing her mother serve as a minister in the church. She believes that, first of all, we are servants to all. Serving is her second nature and, serving her community, “The K-Squad,” is no different. She gives to her community through motivational messages of encouragement, dope recipes, laughter, and real-life stories. She understands that weight loss (and life) are a marathon. After having tried to lose weight for all the wrong reasons, Kimberly decided in August 2016 that she would, as you will often hear her say, “Do It For Yourself.” (Herself in this case) She decided to have gastric bypass surgery in June of 2017.

Kimberly has been plus size as long as she can remember. Her highest weight recorded was 345 pounds. To date, it is still a shock to her that she was ever that size. Her main inspiration for making a lifestyle change was thinking about how her life would be in the future.The original plan was to retire by age 40. However, at the rate she was going, she would not get a chance to see that age. Once Kimberly makes up her mind about something, her focus will not change.

But, she found, other people who had surgery were going through the same issue; thus, the birth of the I Can Do This Journal. The book came from a place of love. She wanted to share her life and experiences of the terrible lows, yet miraculous highs.

A familiar story she can remember, she ordered four boxes of pizza and ate 2 of them by herself. Her food adiciton caused her to start hiding food, and that was the moment she knew; she needed to make a change, or she would die.⁣ Her goal is always to be healthy. It is hard for her to remember that life but, to keep it at bay as a reminder, she uses her I Can Do This Journal to help navigate her new lifestyle!

When she is not working on her life, or being creative, you can find Kimberly on a yoga mat, a HIIT class, or eating her favorite snack (popcorn with cheese) while binge-watching her top tv shows.
