Katina Holliday, founder and CEO of Holliday’s Helping Hands (HHH), has been awarded the Los Angeles County African American Employee Association’s Community Impact award, which was recently presented at a black-tie gala held at the Omni Hotel in downtown Los Angeles.
Holliday, a former family nurse practitioner, was among the honorees at the “Rising In Power & Prevailing in Excellence” event. She was recognized for helping LA’s homeless population as well as formerly incarcerated mothers recently released from prison.
“It’s an honor to have received this award along with several other African American community leaders whom I admire. Though we are involved in different fields, we all share one common goal—improving the lives of our fellow Angelenos,” said Holliday, who founded her eponymous nonprofit in 2018. “Each of us works so hard to improve the lives and well-being of all our residents no matter their circumstances.”
Holliday’s Helping Hands, a 200-employee-strong organization, is fast becoming recognized for transforming the lives of disenfranchised populations and readying them to become productive and independent citizens. One key to its success is helping clients develop “roadmaps” for their futures — detailed, comprehensive plans that help them hone their lifestyle skills, plan monthly budgets, job train, prepare for job interviews and become good neighbors and citizens.
