Noni Walker

She received her Master of Public Health degree from the University of South Florida and Bachelor of Science in Biology from Bethune-Cookman College (now University). Noni has spent the early part of her career in public health, within academia and non-profit organizations; including Spelman College, Bethune-Cookman University and the International Society on Hypertension in Blacks. For a little over six years, she was the Associate Director of Health at the American Kidney Fund where she implemented national disease prevention initiatives, formed corporate and community partnerships, raised funds, and increased awareness of kidney disease through education, screenings, and public speaking. In 2012, she was elected Board Chair of the Georgia Diabetes Coalition and was the 2012 “Employee of the Year” for the American Kidney Fund. Primary focus areas for much of her career were health disparities and chronic diseases, including kidney disease, diabetes, and hypertension.

Her professional and personal experiences inspired her to start her first business in 2011, The Walker Exchange, a health and wellness promotion company. In 2013, she published "The F#@% Train To Freedom: A Wellness Guide to Finding Peace Within Mind, Body & Spirit" to further help people explore hidden blocks and challenges to achieving better health and wellness.

Heavily influenced by her father’s love and extensive collection of music growing up, coupled with childhood and teen years spent dancing ballet, tap, jazz and performance, Noni was grounded in music and entertainment. In 2011, she started as a house music party promoter and was introduced to international house music DJs and artists. This move also expanded her awareness and admiration of the growing number of fantastic women house DJs. In 2020, she became serious about DJing and now spins house, amapiano and open format as "DJ SkyyWalker" all over the country. Passionate about helping women and children learn and have opportunities in music, she created For A Girl Global in 2023. This brand hosts parties, a podcast and DJ classes.

In 2024, she founded and opened Skyyber ENT Studio, a multi-use creative space for events, podcasts, classes, and photo/video productions. At the same time, she re-launched Manifest | Live Free, a business and financial services hub designed to help creatives strengthen the business side of their art. Today, Noni continues to weave together her passions for helping women in business and the arts, wellness, creativity, and entrepreneurship—building spaces where community, women, artistry, and opportunity thrive. She is also the proud mother of two adult children, a devoted plant parent, and embraces a holistic lifestyle that integrates joy, health, business, and purpose.
