She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology from New Jersey City University and she is also a graduate of Seton Hall University’s Non-Profit Leadership Institute and The Rising Tide Capital’s Community Business Academy.  

 Ms. Fitch has worked with a variety of organizations in Social Services for nearly two decades, helping victims of domestic violence; women who have been incarcerated successfully complete their parole, and providing transitional services for women leaving welfare to work.

In 2012, she renamed her company, The EmPOWERment Corp., a name she says best fits her mission.  

A single mother of three sons, Kiwan knows first-hand the difficulties many women face raising their children. An avid writer, Kiwan uses her books to assist women meet the challenges they face from health to finances. Her first book, "Confessions of a Welfare Mom," released in the fall of 2011 was so successful that it led her to write two additional books in the series: "Confessions of a Welfare Mom Volume 2" and "Confessions of a Domestic Violence Survivor". Her books have led to workshops, speaking engagements and a stage play, "Confessions of a Welfare Mom: The Monologues". To date we have produced works audiences in cities such as New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Orangeburg, Charleston, Hopkins, Washington DC, Pawley's Island, and Columbia. This year we are already scheduled to perform in New York, New Jersey, Orlando, Columbia, and Ft. Myers.
