What kind of leader are you? Do you go with the flow or are you ruffling feathers?

As women and specifically as women of color leadership doesn't always come natural to us. This is not because we don't know how, it's more about getting out of our own way.

Confidence looks different for everyone. I never knew that the old me wasn't confident. But now I know that was a total mindset shift which created my confidence. What does confidence look like to you?

I received an award from my coaching school last week. Many folks stopped me to tell my I was exuding confidence. It brought tears to my eyes because I worked so hard to get to this point. This is exactly what I hope for all of you women. I want all of us to glow and shine.

6 Things I would Tell My Younger Self!

I went to my first mixer last night and being in the room with the most inspirational brown women was so uplifting. They were mostly in their 20's and 30's, early career and early relationships. But the way that they were talking blew my mind.

Wish I knew half as much 20 years ago!

Come check out the Six things I wish I knew back in then.

You can be the boss of your own life too!

It is in reach for all of but most of us just don't know it's possible. Embracing the parts of you that you love and letting go of the heavy, critical, unhealthy parts of you is 100% doable and I can help.

I share my own journey and the shifts that my clients have made too.

You don't have to burn down everything you have built thus far, just stop and learn tools that give you permission to say no to the expectations and yes to your dreams.

Ever been called an alpha woman?

I was because I have opinions, I speak up and advocate for what I believe in.

Men call women aggressive, bossy, opinionated and loud when they don't know how to react to women who no longer stay within the boundaries that they have created.

The added layer of a Brown woman weighs down in a unique way. Humility is a virtue keeps you from self promoting. Who wins in this situation?- They do.

Join me as we discuss how we can support other women in the professional spaces.

Have you ever been judged by your appearance?

I remember being told that since my skin was darker that I should wear more muted colors to compliment my skin tone. Sounds nice- right?? Nope- that comment made me avoid wearing bright colors for three decades.

What subtle messages are you believing that aren't true? In this episode we dive deeper into colorism in the brown community and how it applies to more than skin color.

What does being BROWN mean?

Let's start the conversation. I'm celebrating everything brown this month. I identify as a brown woman, and that's not just about the my skin color. I dive deep into my own assimilation and coconut story. Listen so I can explain what that means to me.

I'd love to hear you thoughts, even if we don't agree.
