Where Lived Experience Meets Leadership Design

Our consulting and coaching work is rooted in three signature, research-informed frameworks designed to help you lead with clarity, alignment, and power:

• BFLM™ (Black Feminist Leadership Model) A belonging-first framework centering resistance, identity, care, and transformation
• Orchid-Fire™ (Coming Soon) A life-leadership model for leading, loving, and living with wholeness  
• P.A.I.R.™ A clarity tool to help you communicate your value through Purpose, Approach, Impact, and Results   

We don’t just build leaders. We restore wholeness, rebuild trust, and design legacy. This is what legacy looks like. I don’t just talk about impact—I walk it, lead it, and build it. Executive leadership coaching, strategic leadership advisor, inspirational keynote & author
