I’m Na’Kole Watson

I AM a certified and experienced Suicide Prevention Solutionist and proud life survivor. People call me “The Life Snatcher” because of my proactive suicide prevention approach.

I supply prevention resources, tools and strategies to influencers, community allies and people who wrestle with suicidal ideation.

As a village, we deliver the support and guidance that those who are suffering need to save themselves and live a life free of unresolved pain and hopelessness. Together, we are The Collective Cure™!

My Life + Mission (official bio)

Get ready to be inspired by Na’Kole Watson, the powerhouse speaker, trainer, and consultant who is revolutionizing the conversation around suicide prevention and communal support. Hailing from the small town of Kenly, North Carolina, Na’Kole is a true trailblazer who has overcome unimaginable obstacles in her life.

As a survivor of over 22 suicide attempts, Na’Kole knows firsthand the devastating effects that suicidal ideation, bullying, and abuse can have on an individual. But instead of letting her experiences define her, she has transformed her pain into a powerful mission to help others.

Through her educational marketplace, Conquer Learning Company, and her non-profit organization #NotOnMyWatch™, Na’Kole has become a beacon of hope and safety for anyone who has endured similar circumstances. She is also an accomplished author of several books, including “I Speak Life: A 30-Day Journey from Suicidal Ideation to Victorious Living” and “Good Morning, Young Butterfly!”, a motivational 13-part series for teen girls.

Where Na’Kole really shines is on the stage. As a prolific speaker, she travels far and wide, sharing her story and empowering people of all ages to overcome adversity in their own lives and to help others do the same. With her candid and impactful approach, Na’Kole addresses the tough topics that are often swept under the rug, from suicidal ideation to bullying and beyond.

Certified in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), SafeTALK, More Than Sad Facilitation, and Mental Health First Aid, Na’Kole is equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a real difference in people’s lives. She conducts empowerment seminars and speaks at a variety of events at schools, businesses, conferences, and concerts.

Na’Kole’s work doesn’t stop there. She is actively involved in the North Carolina Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the Crisis Text Line, and several community organizations. Na’Kole is dedicated to changing the narrative around suicidal ideation once and for all. Through her efforts, she has talked hundreds of people out of suicide and is determined to spread her message of hope and healing far and wide.

If you’re looking for a speaker, trainer, or consultant who can inspire and equip you to overcome life’s challenges, look no further than Na’Kole Watson. With her unique gifting and purpose, she is changing lives and making a difference, one human at a time!
