COACHING PACKAGES
Breakthrough to Greatness
Description:
We all come into this world whole, with an innate sense of self, purpose, and potential. However, as we navigate life, societal institutions—be they educational, social, or cultural—often impose limitations, biases, and expectations that can fracture our sense of wholeness. These divisions can create feelings of inadequacy, self-doubt, and confusion, holding us back from realizing our true greatness.
The “Breakthrough to Greatness” package is designed to help you rediscover your wholeness by addressing and healing the divisions created by these external forces. Together, we will explore the root causes of your blockages, dismantle limiting beliefs, and rebuild a strong, unified sense of self. My coaching will guide you in turning self-doubt into self-confidence and confusion into clarity, empowering you to step fully into your greatness.
Empowering Black Communities: Navigating the Criminal Justice System
Description:
The criminal justice system in the United States has a long and complex history, deeply intertwined with the Black community. From its origins in slavery and the Jim Crow era to the ongoing issues of mass incarceration and systemic racism, the criminal justice system has often been a tool of oppression rather than justice for Black individuals and communities.
Where Do Black People Go to Heal? This package is designed specifically for those who are navigating this system and the profound impacts it has had on their lives. Be it as an involuntary participant, a loved one of an involuntary participant, an employee as well as a concerned human that wants to help create real change-this is a landing spot. We recognize the historical and systemic roots of these challenges and aim to provide healing, empowerment, and practical tools to help you not only survive but thrive in the face of these obstacles. Let’s break the generational curses together.
Courageous Hearts Coaching Package: Healing and Empowerment Through Justice and Spirituality
Description:
At the core of every human being lies a courageous heart—one that seeks truth, justice, and healing. Yet, life’s challenges and societal pressures can often obscure this heart, leaving us feeling disconnected from our true selves and our purpose. The Courageous Hearts Coaching Package is designed to help you reconnect with your inner strength, heal from past wounds, and step into your power as an agent of justice and change.
Guided by the principles in my book Courageous Hearts and informed by my personal journey from overcoming systemic oppression to finding spiritual fulfillment, this package offers a transformative experience that integrates self-reflection, social justice, and personal empowerment.
