Dr. Rosie Milligan, registered nurse, counselor/health consultant, author, and Ph.D. in Business Administration, has always been an achiever. Every career or business she's been involved in has included helping other people accomplish what they wanted in life. Her motto, "Erase 'NO,' Step Over 'CAN'T,' and Move Forward With Life," has been a motivating influence for hundreds to whom she has been mentor and role model.

The mother of three entrepreneurs-an M.D., a cosmetologist, and a health food store owner-Dr. Milligan lectures nationally on economic empowerment, managing diversity in the workplace, and male/female relationships. Her books, "Starting a Business Made Simple" and "Getting Out of Debt Made Simple" have helped many across the country. Her most recent release, "Creating A New You In Six Weeks Made Simple," is a must read. Dr. Milligan is also the author of ten other books.

As an economic empowerment activist, the Mississippi native owns a bookstore and Professional Business Consulting Services-providing consultation for new and small businesses and staff development training for corporations. In 1990, she started a publishing company, Milligan Books, where she has published over 100 new African-American authors in the past five years. Her publishing company is the fastest growing publishing company owned by an African American female in the nation.

A successful motivational speaker and trainer, she has appeared on numerous television and radio shows, such as Sally Jesse Raphael in New York; A.M. Philadelphia; Evening Exchange in Washington, D.C., Marilyn Kagan Show in Los Angeles, and she's a regular guest on Stevie Wonder's KJLH Radio. She is founder and director of "Black Writers on Tour," and a columnist for "Black Issue Book Review Magazine."

Dr. Milligan is obviously a woman who knows no limits and has proven this with her newest venture, Milligan Literary Agency. She sold her first work, The Shirt Off His Back, to one of the largest and most prestigious publishing houses.
