Qiana Budd

Qiana Budd is a domestic violence survivor with stories to share. Instead of her experiences hardening her heart, they have discovered a way of evolving into a mission to empower men and women to have healthier relationships in dating and marriage. Her motto is H.E.A.L., an acronym which stands for Healed, Empowered, and Able to Love. The Detroit native was one of four children raised in a two-parent home with a solid spiritual foundation. Qiana desired to join the efforts to promote domestic violence awareness and to bring about change. She began volunteering as a teen mentor for young ladies where she facilitated workshops on topics such as selfesteem, goal setting and relationship building. Qiana also managed an abuser intervention program where she facilitated group therapy with male and female offenders. The success of that program, led to another agency inviting Qiana to conduct anger management workshops at a local women’s prison. She quickly became a leader in the field and a sought-after Speaker, Life Coach and Mentor. She was also a host of Empower Radio, a weekly radio show where she and her guests discussed and addressed the concerns of dating and marital relationships in addition to promoting domestic violence awareness.
