~Special Guest Bio~
Kemba Hubbard was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio. When she was 8 years old, Jesus spoke to her and asked her if she wanted to follow Him on the narrow road or follow the masses on the wide road. She said yes to believing and following Jesus and shortly after was baptized. Growing up she attended a Baptist church on Sundays with her father. Her mother, who moved from Catholic to protestant to a charismatic Christian, took Kemba and her younger brother to a variety of churches during her growing up years. Kemba often shares how these experiences enriched her life and provided her a diverse exposure to different ways of worshipping Jesus. Her other diverse experience included being raised by her parents who joined together from two different races and cultures. Her father who was African-American and her mother who is Caucasian got married just few year after the interracial couple, ‘The Lovings’ won their Supreme court case which struck down state laws banning interracial marriage. Before her father’s passing in 2018, her parents were married for 48 years.
After high school, Kemba attended the University of Dayton and received her Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. She later went on to receive her Masters of Counseling from Regent University and a Masters of Education Specialist’s degree from the University of Dayton.
