Ateba Whitaker holds a Masters of Arts in International Management, a graduate certificate in Nonprofit Management and Social Entrepreneurship, and is working on her doctorate degree. Mrs. Whitaker has worked for Nike, Pepsi and taught at numerous colleges and universities. Also, she was the Founder of a social enterprise that fought human trafficking called Shoe Revolt. The social enterprise raised funds for organizations (i.e., GEMS- NY (www.gems-girls.org/our-mission), Courtney House- DC (www.courtneyshouse.org/), and others throughout the US), helping victims of human trafficking by auctioning celebrity shoes. Many celebrity supporters donated personal artifacts and memorabilia to include Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Sarah Jessica Parker, Lea Michele, Kristen Stewart, Jesse Eisenberg, Taylor Swift, Jada Smith, along with Shark Tank's Barbara Corcoran. Mrs. Whitaker was a finalist in the Women Deliver Social Enterprise sponsored by Clinton Global Initiatives, Featured Innovator, and Featured Change Maker by ABCs 14C Campaign, and featured on MTV, MTV Exit, and MTV Act.

Currently, Mrs. Whitaker is the Founder of Unreasonable Kids College, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, social entrepreneurial educational program training the next generation of Kid- Superheroes. Unreasonable Kids see opportunities where adults see problems. The goal is to create opportunities for kids to tackle poverty, hunger, environmental issues, and others set by the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Unreasonable Kids creates a safe, peer-to-peer, coach-led environment to facilitate and inspire world changers as they learn how to release their fight for good. Unreasonable Kids College was recognized for Solidarity in Action for work during COVID-19 by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Action Campaign with the Virtual Executive Leadership Breakfast/ Brunches for Kids. Unreasonable Kids College won a grant to support K5 students struggling to master core classes such as math and reading. Unreasonable Kids College has adopted two schools- Richard Bowling and Larrymore Elementary, located in Norfolk, Virginia. Even though, Unreasonable Kids College's mission is to train the next generation of Kid- Superheroes by inspiring youth to become world changers through social entrepreneurship education and activity. Mrs. Whitaker saw a greater need for the funds to bring educational resources and wireless headsets to 264 K5 Norfolk students - stating, "any good superhero or social justice advocate cannot save the world if he or she has not mastered math and reading."
