Malkia is also a leading clinician and workshop facilitator for community organizations and government agencies. She is seeking innovative ways to grapple a growing problem within communities.

As a sought-after speaker, Dr. Malkia’s voice continues to sound the trumpet for systematic change within schools and social service systems, which often ignores the signs of bullying and suicide. Malkia has been featured on radio, TV, and at community events. She was the keynote Speaker for Maryland’s 26th Annual Suicide Prevention Conference, 2014 and continues to lead the survivor’s panels, teach other workshops and speak nationally and internationally.

To date, Dr. Malkia has touched and empowered thousands of lives. As a survivor of bullying and suicide her passion and purpose in life is a direct result of life experiences, which lead many support systems turning a deaf ear to her cries for help. Unfortunately, there were no programs to assist when she reached out. Instead, she was told by school officials to ignore the bullying by classmates. This took her down a dark path that almost resulted in death. While she survived her personal suicide attempt, her good friend, reality show actress Gia Allemand of the Bachelor didn’t. Dr. Malkia was devastated by Gia's suicide in 2013. While grieving and hurting she was empowered to speak out on the importance of life. Her vision for Empowerment Essence is a direct result of resilience and regained strength. “One Life Saved Is One Life Given.”

Dr. Malkia has developed the Bully Free Beautiful Me Conference for young Queens ages 7 to 17. She is also building I Matter – Life Matters Film Productions, which is dedicated to helping others tell their story and bring stories to life to further public awareness in the area of suicide and bullying.

Empowerment Essence was developed during Malkia’s reign as Ms. Maryland United States 2014.
