I’m a radical Black feminist freedom seeker and dreamer from the U.S. South who’s rooted in deep diasporic love and a commitment to cultivating global Black vitality and wholeness. As an embodied leadership coach, cultural memory activator, and seasoned facilitator and consultant, I support Black women and the projects and organizations they lead to BE the liberation they long for.
My work as an embodied leadership coach grew out of my commitment to integrity under pressure, to “walking my talk” in a sustainable way, and a desire to support others to do the same.
I believe we transform ourselves and our conditions by re-membering our ancestral and cultural wisdoms. Underutilized sources of power and dormant possibilities are unleashed when we reconnect to Source, our bodies, our emotions, our stories (shoutout to Monica Dennis), and to each other.
Presence, care, trust, creativity, strategy, curiosity, experience, courage, insight and deep listening are what I bring when partnering with Black women, Black gender-expansive people, and women of the global majority who are shaping our movements for justice and liberation. As a coach, I’ve supported leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators to design, launch, and execute projects, transform the culture and relationships in the organizations they lead, move through life and career transitions with more ease and confidence, embrace conflict as generative, and transform patterns and habits that stand in the way of realizing their personal and politicized visions.
As a consultant and facilitator for over 20 years, across the U.S. and beyond, I have led and supported participatory governance, systems change, community building, leadership development, culture transformation, and organizational development. At the heart of my work is a commitment to our sovereignty and thriving through self-determination; to collectively imagining and cultivating the cultural, spiritual, emotional, physical, spatial, and economic conditions that make racial, gender, disability, food, land, and reproductive justice our shared realities.
When I’m not coaching amazing leaders or facilitating organizational transformation work, I also curate the Petit Marronage Residency, the We Need More Fugitives study group, and more with The Black Mecca Project. I practice being “multiracial on purpose” with Liberatory Power Consulting Group. I’m a member of the inaugural Black Embodiment Practitioner cohort with The Embodiment Institute.
I’m currently practicing revolutionary nomadism (shout out to Kai Lumumba Barrow) in Atlanta, GA, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, and Panamá. I’m living abundantly with invisible disabilities, venerating my ancestors, aspiring towards becoming a somatic bodyworker, staring at the sky, reading Black feminist works, and dancing with the mountains and sea.
