Kimberly A.Cullen, a 41 year-old entrepreneur, resides in Sayreville, NJ. She commits her time and effort to being a devoted and loving wife to Christopher Cullen and mother of their daughter. She graduated from New Brunswick High School in 1993 with Honors and continued thereof studying the arts.

Kim, the triple threat has over 32 years of dancing experience in Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Pointe, Liturgical, lyrical, Hip Hop and 15 years in mime. In those 32years she has studied at several dance schools, which included, Dance Dimension. Center Stage, Harlem School Dance, Alvin Ailey, just to name a few. She served as a background vocalist for TH Production, The Gatlin Brothers, Rodney Jordan and countless others.

Her gift and passion in the arts, lead her to her participation in a two-month tour in Europe, where she sang and danced daily, in numerous cities. She has performed in several off Broadway plays from Ohio to New York City; She landed extra work in “Seabisquit”, Pastor Brown, and Spiderman II.

Kim growing up in the heartless streets of New Brunswick, NJ knew that God blessed her to be the habitat of change in her community and to use her experiences as well as the experiences of others to speak the truth and to use her gift as an instrument to help heal a nation. So with the help and inspiration of her dear friend and brother, Tye Husbands they formed a group where kids could come and express themselves through dance and drama, called “Jeremiah House” b.k.a. “JH” Within a matter of months the capacity became too small to accommodate the members that joined every week. The group was known for its heart-wrenching skits and ground shaking dances. They traveled the entire East Coast, bringing a message and telling their story, “Life as they knew it.” It was soon after she embarked on the role as playwright and wrote her first play called “Bag Ladies”. She knows that if it had not been for the motivation from others and the spiritual direction from God, her life would have never been the same, and credits her success to the influences of God, her Husband, family, and close friends.
