About Karen Craggs Milne

Growing up in Kenya in a multi-racial home, Karen was always sensitive to inequality and injustice around her.

Impacted by childhood rape, Karen decided, at the young age of 13, that she was not going to be trapped in life as a victim, living in shame and being angry at the world.
Coaching helped her find healing and freedom. She transformed her pain into an even deeper love, compassion and commitment to elevate humanity.

Karen is now a global Coach and Advisor, working with leaders in governments, corporations and NGOs to learn how to recognize and effectively address unconscious bias and discrimination within their organizations and in the communities they serve. Working with clients like the UN, Government of Canada, Adidas and Reebok, the MasterCard Foundation, Karen has shaped more than half a billion dollars worth of international programs and social justice initiatives, bringing hope, healing and a better life for millions of women, men, children and marginalized groups all over the world.
