Dr. Carolyn Bibbs' Profile Although a native of Kansas City, Kansas, Carolyn Bibbs has called Memphis home for over twenty-nine (29) years. At Crichton College in Memphis, she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Christian Education and has studied extensively at Memphis Theological Seminary. In 2001, she was awarded a Doctorate of Humanities from St. Stephens University in California. The real love in Carolyn’s life is the community youth development program, Creative Life Incorporated, of which she is the founder and CEO. Creative Life is housed in a beautifully renovated 21,000 sq. ft. warehouse on the outskirts of one of Memphis’ most economically challenged communities. Each week Creative Life, serves approximately four hundred (400) children and youth by providing a plethora of after school activities. The program provides homework assistance, computer training, job readiness programs, teen abstinence classes, life and social skills lessons, taekwondo, drama, dance, music and more, in a safe and clean environment. The results have been nothing short of phenomenal, including higher standardized test scores, building of self-esteem, and a noticeable improvement in grades and behavior. Since 1997 Dr. Bibbs, grant writer, has over eight million dollars to fund her programs. Eight years ago, Dr. Bibbs decided to take the youth development one step further by opening and assuming the responsibility of Chief Administrator of Creative Life Preparatory School, a state-approved Christian school. It is the first private school in the area and is designed to promote accelerated learning for children, who would benefit greatly from the smaller classroom setting and the individualized instruction. For this and other services to the community, Carolyn has received recognition, both on the state and national level and serves on many boards for the quality and betterment of life for the children and families of her community. Dr. Bibbs, an ordained elder, now pastors, Saving Station Christian Church, a church planted in 2003 that caters to needs of inner city youth. Her creative abilities for preaching, singing, songwriting and playwriting have carved out a niche for her to travel the globe with motivation and inspiration.
