Project 21 Ambassador Kathleen Wells, a native of Los Angeles, is the executive director of Black America for Immigration Reform (BAIR), a coalition of black American leaders who advocate for U.S. immigration policies that work for the benefit of American workers.
Kathleen previously hosted the talk radio program “The Naked Truth Report” (KRLA/Salem Media, Los Angeles). When Kathleen began her talk radio career, she considered herself a left-leaning progressive. She had previously written for partisan publications such as The Huffington Post, AlterNet, Truthout and Counterpunch. Today she is a proud conservative.
Kathleen has come to believe that the policies advocated by liberals on issues including immigration, welfare, trade and education are destroying black America. She is perplexed that black politicians, preachers and educators don’t grasp these most basic and fundamental truths.
Kathleen earned a Juris Doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law (formerly Boalt Hall), and a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of California, Los Angeles.
