About Kellie Miles

Founder and CEO

Hi my name is Kellie Miles, Creative Confidence Coach and I am the founder and CEO of VWQL Foundation and Virtuous Woman Queens Lair LLC.

I am a native of Philadelphia, Pa, a proud wife to Andre Miles, mother of a blended family of four children, two grandbabies, and a fur baby (Onyx). In addition to my deep love for and devotion to Christ, my passions are the arts, leadership development, building and maintaining relationships, challenging thought processes to inspire mindset changes, and encourage behavior modifications.

I have a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary leadership studies from Villanova University. I am a member of three honor societies, Golden Key International Honor Society, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Society. I hold Disney Institute leadership infused values and approach to leadership excellence certificates, and two Villanova Leadership Symposium certificates.

Since childhood, acting and theater arts have been an outlet for me. It started as a positive way for me to express how I felt through a character without anyone knowing it was me. Over the years, acting and theater have become a passion for me, helping to cultivate my creative thinking. In addition to Villanova, I’ve trained in programs like Freedom Theater, Mike Lemon casting, Greer Lange, and Mainline Models. While each of these institutions helped to improve or enhance my knowledge, skills, abilities, and technique, the burning passion inside has only deepened and increased immeasurably.

Each endeavor, which aligns with my passion for the arts, aims to enrich and empower members of the community through Biblical principles providing programs and resources designed to enhance personal and professional development.

My favorite color is red, I enjoy cooking, watching movies, exercising, taking walks, and spending quality time with my family.
