Dr. Ketra L. Davenport-King
Guest Speaker
Charismatic, Energetic, and Captivating are words that describe the personality of Dr. Ketra. Armed with over 20 years of serving the community, Dr. Davenport-King is an advocate, speaker, mentor, coach, and philanthropist who has radically impacted believers' lives under the flagship of her ministry.
​
Dr. Ketra L. Davenport-King, a native of Dallas, Texas, received her Bachelor of Arts and Science in Christian Counseling, Master of Arts in Christian Education, and Master of Business Administration from Dallas Baptist University. She earned her Doctorate in Strategic Leadership from Regent University. She has spent much of her life serving people in various capacities. One of her greatest joys is starting Life After Advocacy Group, Inc., in 2004 to help individuals who have been victims of sexual abuse recover and live a healthy life.
​
Dr. Ketra opened the doors to Rock Dimensional Consulting (formally known as KLD Consulting Services) in 2005. Through RDC, she has spent the past 15 years coaching and training leaders, developing and educating church ministries, and hosting leadership seminars and workshops. Dr. Ketra is known for her innovative and engaging Leadership Seminar name, 'The Leadership ReCourse,' designed to reconnect today's leaders to collaborative leadership. Dr. Ketra wholeheartedly believes, "When you live in a community, there should be a handprint of your work left behind for future generations." She launched the North Vernon Women's Community Bible Study group in 2015 to bridge the gap and bring together a diverse group of women to improve the family dynamic in underserved communities.
​
In the past five years, Dr. Ketra has expanded her advocacy work through her writings. The journey began with Seeing Beyond the Shattered Glass, a fictional memoir based on her true-life events. Dr. Ketra is confident that her book will inspire victims of sexual abuse who have suffered in silence to speak their Truth.
