"I first heard Freda King speak at a TCC event in 2014. She made me laugh, she made me cry, she made me think about my future as she talked about her past. I was then able to work with her as I transitioned to TCC. Freda and her family established a scholarship to honor her son Brandon King, a TCC student, who was killed in action during his service with the military. She continues to impress me with her ability to connect with each of the scholarship recipients, encouraging them to complete school – something that Brandon was not able to do. Freda is that rare jewel that, if you are lucky enough to come across, enriches your life. She is one of the best speakers I have ever heard – and it all comes from her heart. I have been lucky to get to know her and to work with her."
"Carolyn King is an incredible individual. She spoke to the young men at my program and she held their attention the entire time. Her story is truly inspiring! She leaves you with a feeling of hope and self-worth. Her story transcends gender. Anyone hearing her can gain insight and be motivated to change."
"With her personal story of overcoming obstacles, Ms. Carolyn King, as a guest speaker in several of my classes, has inspired my students to start making positive steps in their lives. Her honest, moving, faith-filled presentation is one that touches her audience and gives hope for brighter days. As my former student and now a guest lecturer in my classes, Ms. King has come full circle, relaying her personal story in hopes of lifting up those in need of finding a new path."
"Freda's presentation which was inspiring and full of hope, was well received by our female in-patient population. The recollection of Freda's recovery journey was riveting and oh so illustrative of the fact that this is indeed a process and not an event. The tears that were shed by the listening audience were taken beyond the confines of the room, and were used as a catalyst for therapeutic intervention. Freda always has an open invitation to return."
"The inspiration and hope Mrs. King shared with our youth, filled the room with encouragement, self-assurance and excitement. She provided the children with the tools needed to overcome life's challenges."
"Many students stood in amazement and awe as Mrs. King shared with them her life’s story. The delivery of her message and her actual experiences resonated with many of the students in attendance at the Youth Summit. Students’ lives were enriched, enhanced and encouraged by her testimony. Through her struggles, perseverance and motivation came her breakthrough and deliverance. The students at the Youth Summit grasped the very essence of her message and this experience was life changing for many of them."
"Freda spoke to my students at a weekend retreat two years ago and the response was overwhelming. My students were moved by God through her testimony. Some students were set free from sexual and drug addictions as she ministered in the power of God.
Freda King is a true life display of the power of the Redeemer. She is extremely real with her testimony because the tragic events that she speaks of really took place in her life. Her story will crush the hardest heart through the anointing of God that rests upon her life. She is real.
I am privileged to call her a friend. Freda ministers with me and our team at Remix the Noise Student Ministries on a weekly basis in between pursuing her education and her career. She loves God with her whole heart and knows her purpose is to reach as many teenagers and young adults as she can. She speaks with power and boldness. She is never fearful of what anyone thinks. She has blessed my life and our students at Christian Heritage Church and I highly recommend her ministry."
