Karyette Simmons

Karyette is a single mother of 4, Duchess to 5 beautiful grandchildren, minister, entrepreneur, philanthropist, speaker, and mentor. Karyette’ s non-profit organization, Divas Heart, was inspired out of her selfless desires to see people become better tomorrow than they were today.

Karyette accepted the call of God on her life and was licensed as a minister under the leadership of Rev. G.H. Jolly at the Mt Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She currently serves in leadership at the Bethel New Bethel MB Church in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, teaching L.I.F.E. (Living In Full Expectations) class where she’s impacting, empowering, and encouraging young adults to reach their full potential and destiny in Christ.

God has shaped and transformed her life from being a teenage statistic to a thriving businesswoman, whose passion in life is to inspire and empower young women to be better tomorrow than they are today. Believing that change comes from within and if she could show women how to put God first, love themselves and plot a course, there is nothing in life that they could not achieve. Karyette is also bundled in love, patience and operates in her God-given purpose. Karyette has the strength and tenacity of Sojourner truth, always going back to get just one more. That’s her life’s purpose sharing her story and going back to reach just one more.

Karyette received her Bachelors of Arts from the University of Arkansas, her Masters of Science, from Walden University and she is currently pursuing her Doctor of Philosophy from Walden University as well.
