Having started out life in the magnolia state, this work was born in me from my life’s beginning. I’ve needed to be free for as long as I understood freedom wasn’t a reality or a given for me. Even through many years of education and employment experiences there was no easy walk or clear path. In fact, it wasn’t until I had settled into adulthood, when I was seated in a well-appointed banquet hall, listening to a speech about reparations, that Randall Robinson named this need for me when he stated that what Black people need most is “interior freedom”. A freedom that arises from one’s sense of connection to all that has come before and all that is to come that validates your being as an inheritor of a brilliant legacy and as one responsible for contributing to the continuing struggle for all humans to know freedom to allow for the highest fullest expression of one’s potential. Thus, I have fully embarked on the rest of my life’s journey knowing that in order for me to succeed, I must pursue Interior Freedom as if my very life depended on it. Not willing to go it alone, I will meet you where you are, listen to assess where you want or need to go and work alongside you to realize the Interior Freedom that will allow you and/or your organization to grow and make the kind of impact the world needs now more than ever. This is the intention with which I live my life and have launched this business.
The first revolution is when you change your mind about how you look at things, and see that there might be another way to look at it that you have not been shown.
