As the founder of the conscious collaborator, I have spent over a decade creating spaces that invite complexity, difference, and courageous experimentation. My work centers on evolving leadership and organizational culture through a healing-centered, systems-aware lens—particularly to uplift and center the voices and brilliance of Leaders of Color. Through public and organizational workshops like Reimagining Racial Equity and Reimagining Patriarchy, as well as our monthly Warm Data offering People Need People Weaving Communities, I convene deeply interconnected communities to make sense of this moment and imagine liberatory futures.

My journey has been shaped by the wild terrain of motherhood, systemic entanglement, and a steady commitment to listening deeply—to myself, to the Earth, and to the rhythms of life. I joined the Fellowship to be in community with other builders and dreamers who are forging businesses that nourish instead of extract. This moment, in which many dominant institutions are unraveling, calls for bold experiments in care, relationship, and possibility. Having stepped away from purely transactional work, I now orient toward life-giving systems that mirror biodiversity and sacred interdependence—what I call “moving with the space of life.”

During the Fellowship, I hope to continue weaving my lineage, my work, and my life into a model of organizational culture that is alive, regenerative, and intercultural. I am called to co-create the building blocks of the world to come—economic systems rooted in care, collaborative agreements that widen the path for sovereignty and liberation, and organizations that embody the values they espouse. I look forward to bringing my own creations into dialogue with the collective wisdom of the Acosta Institute community and to practicing what it means to belong to a future that is arriving through us.
