SPORT(S): WOMEN'S SWIMMING AND DIVING

Kimberlee Ukkerd (Moore) is a trailblazing athlete, a dedicated counselor, and an inspiring minister. Kim’s life’s work bridges physical excellence and faith in Jesus Christ.

During her time at Howard University (1979–1983), Kim shattered barriers as the first woman to earn a swimming scholarship. Her legendary performance at the 1979 conference championships earned her the nickname "Lady Spitz" after she captured seven gold medals and set seven meet records in the same events as Olympic icon Mark Spitz (1976).

After graduation, Kim directed her fierce drive toward offering hope and healing minds and hearts. She earned an MSW from Temple University in 1986, completed theological training at Christian Life School of Theology Global, and became a certified Christian and Pastoral Counselor. Ordained as a minister for over four decades, Kim has used her voice to transform lives.

Kim has served as a plenary speaker on national platforms. Blending counseling with coaching, she empowers individuals and couples to overcome obstacles and build resilient relationships. Her published books include: Your Spouse Is Not Your Problem, Face It With Love: The Guide to Conquering Fear, 10 Secrets to Working with God When Your Spouse Isn’t!” and her recent release, The Naked Truth—5 Things that Make Sexual Sin More Dangerous Than You Think — tackle tough topics with honesty and grace.
Together with her signature 12-week Radical Love marriage program, she remains a compelling voice for lasting change, helping people navigate life's challenges with faith, love, and unwavering courage.
