A Story of Resilience: Kyerra Johnson at the 2025 Patron’s Breakfast
We are honored to introduce Kyerra Johnson as our keynote speaker for the 2025 Patron’s Breakfast, presented by Atterberry Auction and Realty Company. This annual peer-to-peer fundraising event supporting Missouri Girls Town promises to be a morning of inspiration and hope.
Meet Kyerra Johnson
Kyerra Johnson is a beacon of resilience, turning her profound personal tragedy into a powerful mission of advocacy and leadership. A native of East St. Louis, Illinois, she has walked through the depths of loss, losing both of her parents in a tragic homicide-suicide. Yet, through faith and the unwavering support of a compassionate pastor, Kyerra transformed her pain into purpose, dedicating her life to empowering others and creating a lasting change.
With a gift for storytelling and a passion for advocacy, she uses her platform as a published author and motivational speaker to elevate African American voices. Her work fosters cultural awareness, sparks often difficult but necessary conversations, and encourages individuals to rise above life’s challenges and build a better future for themselves.
