“Without community, there is no liberation” - Audre Lorde
A space for women of color who are seeking to build wealth without compromising their health
About Emerge
EMERGE is a coaching community, haven, program and development continuum for women of the global majority who serve in a leadership capacity (executive leadership, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs and other high pressure roles). This is for those of us who identify as high achieving, high earning, highly independent, and those of us who are likely highly stressed. The goal of this community and program is to introduce, restore and deepen the livelihood of women of color leaders through an emphasis on holistic wellness. The goal is to prioritize our health as a foundation to wealth.
Our WHY
Far too many of us are dying.
Too many women of the global majority are not able to experience, nor tap into the fullness of our humanity, and the joy that is our birthright due to capitalism, racism, injustices and the weight we bear as a result.
This program offers a community and experience for women of color unlike any other. Through study, play, movement, healing practices, masterclasses and more, we will deepen our knowledge of self, our communities and what we need in order to be well so that we are not continuing to give of ourselves in ways that are detrimental to our well being.
We will learn to recognize and interrupt cycles, barriers and practices that threaten our ability to be well and thrive.

A Note from the Founder
It is a part of my purpose in this life to create communities of care and justice - centered spaces that truly see, honor, and center the wellness and healing of women and girls of the global majority.
And I have learned the hard way.
While I am successful by most metrics - an author, entrepreneur, a highly successful career as an educator, and consultant. A creator of a wellness organization, a leader of retreats, and an international public speaker. I have also experienced burnout, deep exhaustion and know all too well the dangers posed to the human spirit for Black women when we navigate this world in our Blackness, womanhood and when we serve as leaders in a capitalist society. I know and have experienced the pain of what it means to be a Black woman in spaces that have never been designed to see us, but will take everything from us.
To put it plainly, I am tired of seeing black women die. Whether by suicide, through maternal health struggles, or through diseases that are linked specifically to what we are so often forced to hold within our bodies as a result of caring for everyone except ourselves. I know the weight of our unique burdens and deeply trust my journey as a healer, leader and writer to create healing and justice - centered spaces that care uniquely for what we need.
I have long carried this mantra by Audre Lorde, and the longer I live and do this work, the more I understand it: “Caring for myself is not self indulgence; caring for myself is self - preservation and that is an act of political warfare.”
This world has been designed to take from us to the point that we believe that our own self care, our boundaries, are rest, our moving slowly, is somehow unproductive, unworthy and an embodiment of what it means to be unsuccessful. It is my work in creating this space to undo this. To create space and community where we recognize that:
Our wellness is our greatest currency
Joy, play and pleasure are our birthrights
WE are MOST successful when we are well rested, nourished and are able to create and give from a place of overflow
Our healing is justice - work and it is true liberation.
It is my hope that you will lean into investing into yourself differently and will join each of us in this sacred, liberatory space.
Why Invest in Coaching?
As women, we make many investments with our finances, time and energy, but how often do we make those investments into self? For many women of the global majority, we have not had models for investing in ourselves in this way. In education, in our work, in our relationships, into our children, sure, but into ourselves? Not so much.
This program is a high ticket, high investment offering because it is designed to build our ability to care for ourselves first so that we can do more for others, so that we can create the lives we desire without burning ourselves out!
This coaching is holistic, a blend of wellness and leadership development, and it is culturally responsive. Coaching, in this way, is transformational!
