Nationally and internationally known as one of the most powerful, motivating and life-changing orators, Bernice A. King leaves her audiences spellbound and challenged. Born the youngest daughter of Coretta Scott King and the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., King began her oratorical journey when she spoke in her mother’s stead at the United Nations when she was 17. Over the years, she has been requested to speak in such places as Sydney, Australia; Lubeck, Germany; Argentina, South America and at The White House in Washington, D.C.
King served as a law clerk in the Fulton County Juvenile Court system under Judge Glenda Hatchett of the "Judge Hatchett" television show, where she interacted with troubled boys and girls. Continuing her commitment to help youth who have fallen to such victimization, King served as mentor to a group of 5th grade girls at an inner city, Atlanta elementary school.
As an ordained preacher, King is a minister at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia, GA. In addition to being an orator and a preacher, King has organized numerous conferences, seminars and workshops on women and family issues as well as non-violent conflict resolution for college students, conducted a class on race relations at Mississippi College in Jackson, MS, and taught a yearlong leadership development class at a local inner city church.
Cited in "Ebony" Magazine as one of the Ten of Tomorrow in leadership, King has been featured in "People" Magazine, "Essence," "Ladies Home Journal" and "Charisma" Magazine, and served as a guest host on CNN. She is author of "Hard Questions, Heart Answers."
King earned B.A. in Psychology from Spelman College and a Masters of Divinity and Doctorate of Law degree from Emory University. She is a member of the State Bar of Georgia.
