Deanna Kimberly Burrell

Deanna Kimberly Burrell is a successful businesswoman, marketing maven, published author, and popular speaker. Her first book, Voted "Most Creative"- Perspectives on Life, Love, and the Pursuit of Happiness, is a collection of poems and essays that inspire creativity, growth, and self-expression.

Single Girl Summer is her first novel and it's more than just a story of sophisticated friends having fun in the big city. Single Girl Summer is a celebration of women - yes, their strengths and weaknesses but more than that, their ability to pull themselves up by their designer bootstraps.

Deanna has compiled her sage advice and life experiences into the following motivational seminars:

“Reinvention: My Journey from Corporate Zombie to Creative Writer”

“A Tribute to Black Women”

“Networking and Mentorship Success Strategies”

“The Art of Flirting”

Deanna’s goal is to encourage everyone, especially women and students, to find their motivation and successfully pursue their dreams. She has been a prominent speaker at Milliken University, University of Illinois-Chicago, Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre, the Chicago Public Library, and Chicago Public Schools. In addition, she has been the featured author at numerous book signing events (O’Hare airport, Azizi bookstore) and radio stations (WVON, WSRB, blogtalkradio).
