A LITTLE ABOUT ME...
M y name is Dr. Kimberly A. Matthews and I am an author, professor, researcher and activist. I am passionate about education and history. I know with great certainty that education changes lives and I am honored to be a part of that process. History never dies and I want to educate a new generation to the sacrifices of those who came before us. Encouraging and leading a quest for empowerment and equality through education is my ultimate goal. I also enjoy creative writing, watching old movies on TCM, anything Star Wars, yoga and exploring the beautiful state of Virginia. My newfound passion is traveling abroad.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ME
I got to know Dr. Kimberly Matthews after she joined SPBC Toastmasters in 2011. Over the years, I have seen her grow from a quiet speaking person into a polished and confident speaker. She has taken on projects with dedication and enthusiasm. Her most recent accomplishment is her book, “Images in Modern America: The Richmond Crusade of Voters,” which has become widely acclaimed and a best seller. One thing I like about Kimberly is her calm nature and her ability to look at situations fairly and clearly. She is thorough in everything she does and tackles all with diligence. I have found the experience of knowing and being on a team with Kimberly both inspiring and delightful.
