July 18, 20253 min read

Business. Service. Purpose.
For most, these are separate paths. For Kathy Greggs, they’re one mission.

As a U.S. Army Combat Veteran, advocate, and entrepreneur, Kathy’s leadership didn’t stop when she hung up the uniform, it evolved. Through her organizations and community partnerships, she’s built systems of empowerment that bridge government, business, and grassroots activism. And at the heart of it all lies her story, one she boldly shares in her award-winning book, “The Mother – The Soldier – The Activist.”

A Story That Moves from Survival to Service

Kathy’s book takes readers on an unforgettable journey from the trauma of military sexual assault to the triumph of public service. Her story is one of courage, faith, and perseverance, a reminder that healing and leadership can coexist.

“I didn’t just survive. I decided to serve differently.”

That decision became her defining moment. Whether advocating for reform in Washington, fighting for transparency in Fayetteville, or mentoring young women in leadership, Kathy leads with empathy not ego.

Her work and her words have reached far beyond city limits, earning her the International Impact Award for inspiring others to stand strong, speak up, and serve with love.

The Activist and the Entrepreneur

Behind every cause, Kathy sees opportunity and not for profit, but for progress.
Through her company and her community initiatives, she has:

✅ Built partnerships that support small business growth and local job creation
✅ Advocated for workplace safety, fair wages, and economic equity
✅ Created leadership pathways for youth and women to engage in civic life

Her approach blends the precision of a soldier with the vision of a CEO. Every project, policy, and program she touches reflects one core belief: real change begins with real people who refuse to give up.

The Book That Inspires Action

In “The Mother – The Soldier – The Activist,” Greggs shares her unfiltered journey through motherhood, military service, and community activism. She confronts the realities of sexual assault, police accountability, and even the emerging role of artificial intelligence in shaping justice and equity.

This isn’t just a story, it’s a movement. Kathy challenges readers to see advocacy as an everyday act of courage. She reminds us that whether you wear a uniform, own a business, or raise a family, you have the power to lead change right where you are.

“We all have a mission. Mine is to ensure no one fights alone, not in the military, not in the streets, not in life.”

A Call to Lead, Serve, and Build

Kathy Greggs stands as a symbol of what leadership looks like when service never ends. As a mother, soldier, activist, and businesswoman, she continues to create systems that uplift, protect, and empower others.

The Mother – The Soldier – The Activist is more than a memoir — it’s a manifesto for resilience, faith, and forward motion.
It’s a call to stand for something, build something, and leave behind a legacy worth following.
