Norfolk State alumna becomes agent for Olympic athletes

This is where it all started. That single thought played in Kimberly N. Holland's mind as she sat in the Southwest DeKalb High School (Atlanta)gymnasium, watching Angelo Taylor and Terrence Trammell.

As the band played, the cheerleaders cheered and Taylor and Trammell gave speeches, Holland couldn't help but remember her own start as a sports agent, a field still dominated by men. It's not the profession she envisioned for herself. She wanted to be an attorney, to fight for social change and justice, to give voice to those who had none. After high school, she hit the track running, so to speak. She graduated from Norfolk State University, worked for Sen. Edward Kennedy, then moved to Atlanta.
