Dr. Darricka Carter Alexander

A lover of Life and a counselor at heart, Dr. Darricka Carter Alexander, known by many as simply “D” was raised in a small town in New Jersey, outside of Philadelphia, PA. 

Dr. D’s diverse professional career spans from the practicing Podiatric medicine, non-profit development and event planning.  She is the owner of College Events, LLC in Richmond, VA.  The common thread in every position is supporting people and helping them design plans for success.

 This philosophy goes hand in hand with the mission of Matters of the Hearts. In 2017, while planning her wedding, to the man God truly ordained for her life, the vision of “Matters of the Hearts” was birthed.  One day, they would create a platform to strengthen relationships locally and abroad through love.

Darricka’s faith is God and her testimony of God’s restoring power and saving grace, equips her to help others who have experienced devasting events in life. She lives daily by the scripture; 1 Corinthians 2:5 which states, “That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.” 

In Darricka’s free time she enjoys mentoring teens and traveling with her husband Benjamin. Every morning we thank God for a new day to create something special!
