Making a Difference in 2024: From Personal Empowerment to Protecting Black Brands

Happy New Year,

It’s been a while since I’ve communicated, but I figured it was time. Yesterday, I enjoyed providing fundraising and mindset coaching to a business owner. This experience reminded me of how much I love when my expertise and knowledge provide value to others. My joy is sparked when I know I’m helping anyone with the courage, mindset, or skillsets to achieve their dreams. Every December and January for the last decade, I’ve spent deep time strategizing and reflecting on the things (or people) I need to let go of and what I need to welcome more of into my life. Sometimes, this process includes crafting new affirmations, going on a self-guided meditation retreat, or performing a daily ritual that helps me attain clarity. It’s funny that for every year except last year, partnership in love was not very high on my list. I’ve typically focused on my career and business goals for much of my life with the understanding that that part would eventually work out naturally. But in 2022, I decided it was time for me to put partnership and my ability to cultivate love first. ? Despite needing to adjust my manifestation process three times, I am thankful for persisting and getting to know myself while attracting the kind of partner I desired.

Now, I feel a strong calling to get back to helping others live their dreams, whether in business success, mindset training, or happiness enhancement. There are many ways to show up with others with this overarching goal. I came up with a strategy in which I offer Personal Growth Coaching, Business Optimization Consulting, Music-Centric Youth Enrichment, and Brand Protection:

• Personal Growth: Coaching for Mindset and Financial Health
• Business Optimization: Strategic Consulting for Enhanced Business Performance
• Music-Centric Youth Enrichment: Enhancing Creative Talents and Business Skills through Music
• Brand Protection: Protecting Black Brands from Unfair Trademark Disputes

As always, now is the time to be the person you aspire to be. Each moment offers us a choice in how we perceive others and how we love ourselves. I hope you choose to treat yourself with care, compassion, understanding, and love.

Wishing you a life-changing 2024.

3. Music-Centric Youth Enrichment: Enhancing Creative Talents and Business Skills through Music: The transformative power of music can touch lives in the most profound ways. Picture a young soul struggling with the stress of finding their way into adulthood and success. Many turn to the art and creative expression in the rhythm and melodies of music to help. This is the heart of our program, where we fuse music, mental health, and business knowledge to power youth. Witnessing the stress fade away from a young person as they explore interests in music inspired us to broaden our reach. As industry veterans in finance, music arts, and mental health, Roshawnna, Belewa, and Rashid created SOUND: mind, music, and business to help our young people amplify their lives.? Our 12-week curriculum, crafted with love alongside award-winning music producers, mental health experts, and proven business and life coaches, is more than just a program; it's a journey toward health, healing, and personal growth. Plus, youth will have the opportunity to share their products with music industry titans with the potential to be highlighted on TV and for the project to be used commercially. Each session of the hybrid course will include life skills such as mindfulness, creative writing, finance, entrepreneurship, and music arts (including music production, editing, audio/video recording, and podcasting). Music moves minds and makes money… Let me know if you want me to send you details once open enrollment starts [Contact me for more details ]

4. Brand Protection: Protecting Black Brands from Unfair Trademark Disputes: In a world where the entrepreneurial spirit should be nurtured and protected, it's heartbreaking to see Black Owned Brands facing legal challenges that threaten their dreams. That's why I've joined forces with a compassionate and skilled trademark attorney to provide a shield of legal support. One of her most touching cases involved a chef who had to fight to keep her registered trademark when it was unjustly challenged. This experience reinforced our commitment to stand beside Black business owners, ensuring their creativity and hard work are respected and protected. Join us in this fight for justice and equity.
