Keynote Speaker
Vernice Armour
As featured on Oprah Winfrey, CNN, Tavis Smiley, NPR, and others, Vernice
Armour’s dynamic style and presentation methods have impacted many
organizations and individuals. She blends a high-energy presentation style with
humorous anecdotes, powerful visual and audio tools, and meaningful content
designed to educate and edify while it entertains. Vernice stands on many
shoulders, a strong legacy, and is highly sought after for her message of "Zero to
Breakthrough™".
Vernice knows a little something about focus, commitment, and
defying the odds. After accomplishing her dream of becoming a
police officer, she decided, at age 24, to become an Officer in the
Marine Corps and a combat pilot. Only 3 years later, she was the
United States Marine Corps’ first African American female pilot and
shortly after, was recognized as America’s First African-American
Female Combat Pilot by the Department of Defense. Before leaving
the military, Vernice completed 2 tours in Iraq.
As founder of VAI Consulting and Training, LLC, and through her keynotes, seminars, workshops, and
executive retreats, Vernice conveys her message of “Zero to Breakthrough™” through her unique insight
and life strategy, "Acknowledge the obstacles, DON'T give them power!" As your Breakthrough Expert,
Vernice makes each keynote speech and consulting engagement as memorable as it is valuable, with her
infectious energy, warmth, and humor.
Among her accomplishments, Vernice has been awarded for being a
pioneering pilot and her role in technology and engineering! Vernice was
also the first African American woman on the Nashville Police
Department's motorcycle squad, Camp Pendleton's 2001 Female Athlete of
the Year, two-time titleholder in Camp Pendleton's annual Strongest
Warrior Competition, and a running back for the San Diego Sunfire
