dc.descriptionA native of Eulonia, Georgia, in McIntosh County, Tykeisha Palmer devoted her early adult life to the field of Human Resources, serving as a branch manager for Snelling Staffing and an HR director for a major airline. In 2018, she started her own consulting company, KP Financial LLC. When her teenage son became a victim of gun violence in 2020, she started a nonprofit, KP 17 Inc., for other grieving parents who lose children in that way. The purpose of the nonprofit is to help people put their financial house and spiritual life back in order after having gone through traumatic instances that caused them to give up on life and ignore their finances. She also works with Bishop Steven Mints on a variety of outreach programs for veterans and the homeless in northern metropolitan Atlanta, helping them to establish credit and put themselves on sound financial footing. Her business activities have also included work as an international real estate agent. In January 2025, the outgoing Biden Administration presented her with a presidential lifetime achievement award.
