✨Values & Philosophy

Integrity: We operate our business with honor and integrity. We own our mistakes as much as we own our success and aim to make proper amends whenever an error is made on our end.

Progress Not Perfection / Continual Progress: You can start transforming your life right now. We believe the best time to start was yesterday and that it is important to appreciate and value the journey over the end result. Our work theme is start where you are with what you have; just start

Fair Trade: Here, your value is always affirmed. We believe in trading fair services at fair prices or in excellent bartering partnerships

Transparency: We publish an annual report of the programs we have created, support and where our donations and 10% of annual proceeds are going and supporting for you to see and share.

Be the __ You Would Look Up To / Want In Your Life: Instead of waiting for someone to take note and become sensitive to the needs of first generation and second-generation wealth builders, we decided to do it ourselves.

Accountability Community: One of the best ways of transforming your life for the better and living a life of fulfillment, stability and wealth building, is a change of environment. We provide a community of supportive, ambitious and resourceful individuals who want you to succeed and hold high importance on collaboration and integrity. To us, you are not just a client or consumer but a valued family member. Also, we will never tell you that you are “too ambitious.” We provide a safe space to dream big and find the accountability support to achieve even bigger.

Experiential Mentorship: Just as we believe in the powerful transformative power of communities, we also believe in the power of personal / professional coaching and mentorship. Mentors can be the people you need to expedite your success in life, and at every stage of your journey, we will assign a mentor to help you gracefully navigate your current circumstances and next steps.

“In-Trenched” Streamlined Curriculum: Our curriculum, masterclasses and programs are informed by our direct work, impact and research “in the trenches” or on the ground level in the communities we seek to serve. With our streamlined 5 stages approach to ownership and wealth education, we address the unique obstacles that are directly acknowledged by underrepresented and underserved communities of first -generation wealth builders to equip them with the education, community, mentors and opportunities to take back control over their future, time and overall health, financially and otherwise.

Curriculum: We saw a need for educational programming that addresses the unique obstacles presented to women of ethnic descent on their journey to taking back control over their lives and attaining stability and wealth. Instead of waiting for someone who take note and become sensitive to these needs, we decided to do it ourselves.

Autonomy Over Your Growth Process and Wealth Building Journey: We are not here to tell you one way to live your life to the fullest. Rather, we want to introduce you to as many options and opportunities as possible and support you in choosing which programs and/or services would be best for you in addition to our expert recommendations and suggestions with experienced and relevant guidance and support from our in-house experts

Many "success" and "career development" programs today do not take into account the unique obstacles people of color face every single day on their journey to success. Despite "pulling themselves up by their bootstraps," adults and youth of color alike face systemic barriers on their journey to success and promotions in leadership, no matter how qualified, credible or talented they may be.

We envision a world where not only do people of color fight against systemic oppression, but they are provided with the supportive community, educational resources, professional entrepreneurial training and individual mentor-ship to do so. The end result we seek when working with communities of color is to be able to provide accessibility to the resources for people [adults and youth] of color to overcome systemic barriers to attain success (financial stability and a higher quality of life).

We cannot achieve success to our fullest potential if we continue giving power to passed down generational curses, whether it be poor intimate relationships with others, limiting beliefs, financial instability, or any other form of poverty. Our community is for individuals looking to collaboratively break glass ceilings and generational curses, within themselves, their families, and their communities.

A Huge Thank You


A big thank you to our team, committee members, allies, partners in service and sponsors for giving us the ability to do what we love (educate and serve under-served populations) while providing access to resources and opportunities for creating a more fulfilling more stable future for ourselves and our loved ones.

We partner with educational institutions and community organizations to bring our unique, hands-on career and talent development programs, as well as our enrichment programming to empower their communities of color to succeed not only in academia but in the real-world.* We also partner with businesses around the globe to promote their services and products to our communities in exchange for sponsoring one of our programs. Learn more about how your organization can partner with us to design and implement strategies for "being a part of the solution" in opportunity equity for communities of color, inquire about sponsoring one of our programs or book one of our experts / mentors to speak or host today!
