I’ve recently been in a lot of conversations about the practice of self-advocacy -- a crucial component of leadership and personal growth. As it relates to race and identity, self-advocacy empowers folks to speak up for their needs within systemic barriers and discrimination that often make it difficult for us to access equitable resources and opportunities. By supporting clients on their journey to self-advocacy,

Here are three quick tips I’ve personally used and have shared with clients seeking to infuse more gratitude into their leadership practice.

In the LD newsletter last month, I shared 81cents (acquired by Rora) , an org that offers salary negotiation coaching to underrepresented individuals.

For much of this year, I have been intentional about aligning my actions here with one of my values: CONNECTION. I’ve worked to share and engage with my community here. As the year comes to a close, I will create a little space to bring action to another value of mine: STILLNESS. It provides a place of restoration, reflecting and recharging as I seek to continue to grow LD and show up as my best self in the process. So off I go, to restore, reflect, and recharge!

Our everyday decisions contribute to us moving closer or further away from our dreams.

Black women, and African American women in particular, come from a lineage of women who have HAD to self-sacrifice. Our work now is to get free.

Last month, I had the absolute pleasure of learning from Tracee Stanley, author of Radiant Rest. She led a powerful retreat space and talked about who we are able to become when we move BEYOND our CONDITIONING:

If you aren’t successfully leading yourself in the things you say are important to you, how do you expect to lead others in the important things?

While centering equity, we focus on all dimensions of an organization to imagine comprehensive approaches that consider all stakeholders as well as cultural implications.

Earlier this month I was interviewed by Go Solo for Subkit to talk about growing a business.

The pursuit of career success often comes at the expense of personal fulfillment. I’ve found that by self-reflecting…taking a beat, accessing our innate needs, tapping into our natural talents and passions, and surrounding ourselves with an honest community, we can actually find greater satisfaction AND success in the long run.

I am a firm believer that how we lead ourselves/our own lives is a direct reflection of how we lead our teams. When was the last time you did some *YOU* planning?

There isn’t a time I can remember when I wasn’t seeking to develop myself and support the development of others. As a child growing up in a deeply religious environment, I was aspiring to develop into a “good Christian,” while also teaching bible classes.

The journey was prescribed -- the goal and the path to get there were predetermined by societal norms and the white dominant culture that drives us all. To become a “good Christian” according to the broader society, you do X.

A year ago this week, after years of serving clients as a facilitator, strategic coach and thought partner, I decided to conquer the “building a business” checklist that had been intimidating me for years, and make Liberated Development (LD) an official company.
