Our Founder and President

Pastor Vioree Brandon-Nettlesford, affectionately known as Pastor V, is a visionary leader, executive leadership coach, transformational speaker, pastor, and three-time bestselling author whose life's work is dedicated to helping individuals transform adversity into purpose, healing into wholeness, and vision into lasting impact.

With more than 20 years of leadership experience spanning corporate leadership, ministry, nonprofit development, and community engagement, Pastor Vioree has become a trusted voice for individuals, organizations, and communities seeking transformation from the inside out. Her unique ability to bridge faith, leadership, personal development, and community impact has positioned her as a sought-after leader who inspires people not only to overcome challenges but to rise into their highest potential.

Known for her authenticity, strategic insight, and faith-centered approach, Pastor Vioree moves seamlessly from community service initiatives to executive boardrooms, equipping leaders with the mindset, emotional intelligence, leadership competencies, and spiritual clarity necessary to navigate complexity, lead with integrity, and create sustainable impact. Whether coaching executives, mentoring emerging leaders, teaching from the pulpit, or speaking on national platforms, she empowers people to lead with purpose and live with intention.

In 2022, Pastor Vioree founded Girl, Live! Inc., a faith-centered nonprofit organization committed to empowering women through healing, leadership development, personal growth, and authentic community. Through this vision, she launched the Girl, Live! Experience, a transformative national gathering designed to help women reclaim their voice, restore their identity, and align with their God-given purpose. Under her leadership, Girl, Live! Inc. has expanded its reach through mentorship programs, leadership initiatives, prayer communities, and outreach efforts serving women in shelters, transitional housing, and underserved communities.

In 2026, Pastor Vioree expanded her vision by establishing Kingdom Rise Cultural Center (KRCC), a Kingdom-centered ministry and leadership hub dedicated to cultivating spiritual growth, biblical literacy, leadership development, cultural engagement, and community transformation. Founded on the belief that faith should influence every sphere of society, KRCC serves as a place where individuals are equipped to rise in Kingdom authority, strengthen their leadership capacity, and become agents of change within their families, workplaces, churches, and communities.

A respected voice in leadership and personal transformation, Pastor Vioree delivered a compelling TEDx Talk at the University of Central Florida, exploring the powerful connection between mindset, faith, and goal achievement. Her ability to translate complex personal and leadership challenges into practical, actionable strategies has made her a highly sought-after speaker for conferences, corporations, churches, educational institutions, and leadership forums nationwide.

Her work has been featured on Fox 5 DC, Living Local DC, Fox 39 Miami, and The CW (WSFL-TV), where she served as host of Widowed and Winning TV on The Connect Show. Through media, ministry, and leadership development, she continues to amplify conversations surrounding healing, resilience, leadership, faith, and personal transformation.

Pastor Vioree is the author of three bestselling books: My New Starts Now, Wounded, Widowed & Winning, and Your Guide to Limitless Living, which draw on her personal journey of grief, healing, restoration, and rediscovery of purpose. Through her writing, coaching, and teaching, she provides individuals with practical tools and transformative strategies to overcome adversity and build lives of significance.

As Founder and CEO of Girl, Live! Inc., Founder of Kingdom Rise Cultural Center, CEO of Divine Enterprise, LLC, and co-leader of The Bounce Back Academy, Pastor Vioree continues to build platforms that empower people to heal, lead, serve, and thrive.
