Our Founder

Kattie Harvey is a passionate community advocate, servant leader, and founder of The Onither K. Bell Project, Inc.—a nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting and transforming lives.

Through integrated programs, the Foundation champions holistic wellness, hands-on workforce development, and impactful community service initiatives.

The Onither K. Bell Project was born from Kattie’s own journey to discover purpose. In 2016, she found her calling through her work with River City Youth (RCY), a grassroots initiative focused on empowering underserved youth. Her signature event, the Summer Backpack Jam, became more than a school supply giveaway—it was a joyful community celebration, filled with music, face painting, food, and encouragement that touched hundreds of lives. Today, The

Onither K. Bell Project continues that legacy with a broader mission and deeper impact, named in honor of her grandmothers, Onither and Kattie Bell.

Kattie’s work is deeply rooted in personal experience. Having navigated depression and chronic health challenges, including Type II diabetes, she knows firsthand the transformative power of living with intention. Her personal motto, “Do what you love and love what you do,” isn’t just a saying—it’s the way she lives. In 2024, she made the courageous decision to leave corporate America to prioritize her health, peace, and purpose. That same year, she launched HireLink, a

boutique talent acquisition firm, and fully committed to expanding The Onither K. Bell Project’s mission.

With over 25 years of experience in corporate HR, recruiting, and workforce development, Kattie has helped thousands of individuals find career pathways—supporting organizations from

startups to Fortune 500 companies and global HR providers. Her clients describe her as high- energy, compassionate, and results-driven—a people-first leader who brings purpose to every project.

In recognition of her enduring commitment to professional excellence and community impact, Kattie was named a Marquis Who’s Who Honored Listee in 2024. Today, through her nonprofit and consulting work, Kattie Harvey continues to build stronger, healthier communities—empowering individuals to live with purpose, power, and pride.
