Kimberly Bailey Tureaud, a Las Vegas native, has made significant contributions to the entertainment and public relations industry.
Kimberly Bailey Tureaud, born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, has always been inspired by her parents, Bob and Anna Bailey, to strive for excellence. After graduating from Western High School in 1980, she pursued her passion for journalism and film at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia. Her time at Spelman was transformative, allowing her to assist Spike Lee with film promotions, which ignited her career in entertainment publicity.
Upon returning to Las Vegas, Kimberly moved to Los Angeles to further her career. She quickly made a name for herself, working with industry giants like Mark Goodson and later joining Tobin & Associates, where she became the top account executive. Her work in public relations extended into community service, where she played a pivotal role in the development of the Crenshaw-Baldwin Hills Plaza, ensuring minority contractors were included in the project.
After a successful stint in public relations, Kimberly returned to her roots in Las Vegas, where she founded her own public relations service. She organized fundraising events for KCEP 88.1 FM, bringing together celebrities to support the station. Her efforts led to the establishment of the Micro Business Program, which helped over 932 minority businesses thrive in the community.
Today, Kimberly is the proud owner of Las Vegas Black Image Magazine and hosts a long-running business show on KCEP. Her annual Caravan for Mammogram event has raised awareness for breast cancer among black women, showcasing her commitment to community health and empowerment.
