Life Coaching
You already are a powerful being! I’ll help you activate that power for audacious living.
You have bold life visions and goals to bring forth, but a lack of confidence or layers of cultural conditioning may obstruct your path. This is where I come in. As your success partner, it is my responsibility to help you connect to and mobilize your power in service of your aspirations.
- A coaching conversation can add value to your life. I equip you to see from new angles. New Angles = New Possibilities!
- Coaching facilitates your empowerment—you gain self-knowledge and self-awareness, and I support you to solve your challenges, which powers your own self-agency.
- I help you stay focused on your goals, eliminate barriers, and walk out your vision in practical, bite-sized steps.
- Sometimes, clients need more specialized approaches to address their challenges. My unique coaching model, ARISE©, was designed for this purpose and may be just right for you.

Personal Development via Audacious Inner Works (AIW) Institute™
I love the word “audacious”—it’s confident, unapologetic, and daring! That’s who we become (and the life we lead) when we commit to a sustained practice of self-cultivation, of doing the inner work.
I created Audacious Inner Works (AIW) Institute™ to be your development partner in that lifelong pursuit. We offer personal development services that include professional life coaching, intimate group guided conversations known as Sips, and 6-week institutes. We welcome the opportunity to partner with you.

Consulting
New York City Department of Education Approved Vendor: Pending Fall 2021
As an organizational development consultant, I leverage my backgrounds in education and coaching to support schools, CBOs, and small, emerging businesses develop their staff capacity, facilitate sessions, and design relevant curricula and programs to meet their varying needs. I seek to partner with key stakeholders in a collaborative, problem-solving process that centers inquiry and learning. The ultimate goal of my consultancy is to build the organization’s capacity to learn how to learn towards a culture of accountability. If this approach aligns with your vision of consultancy, let’s talk!
In Memoriam: Dr. Olivia Cousins
Feminist. Scholar. Historian. Clinical Sociologist. Professor. Activist. Artist. Mentor. Mother. Black Woman Extraordinaire. Dr. Olivia Cousins was a fierce warrior for social justice who championed civil rights by fighting for communities of color and access to quality health care for women on local and global fronts. In one of her countless roles, she owned and stewarded the John Mercer Langston Historic House, an African-American historic landmark, in Oberlin, Ohio. She was an uncompromising model of dignified Black womanhood and had an enormous impact on my development as a Black woman. View Full Tribute
