There is a war raging about who has worth and who belongs. It brings up ancestral and familiar wounds. It is time for another cohort of R.I.S.E. (Reclaiming Inspiration, Support and Empowerment). https://forms.gle/1heNPz8tkMWumzL37
R.I.S.E. was born out of a powerful journey. In 2020, during another time of immense challenge and change, I was selected by Google to create a safe space for Black employees. What started as a single gathering quickly evolved into four years of a space where people could exhale, connect, and find strength together. Even when the program ended (Jan 2025), the need for community and support remained.
R.I.S.E. is more than a program; it’s a MOVEMENT to reclaim our right to gather, heal, and thrive together. If you’re looking for a space where you can be seen, heard, equipped with tools for your path, and supported by people who truly understand, I invite you to learn more about R.I.S.E. and join our waitlist for the next cohort (starts on Feb 6, 2026!)
One of MLK's lesser know but profoundly impactful quotes, and my personal favorite is:
"Number one in your life’s blueprint, should be a deep belief in your own dignity, your worth and your own somebodiness. Don’t allow anybody to make you feel that you’re nobody. Always feel that you count. Always feel that you have worth and always feel that your life has ultimate significance."
Here at R.I.S.E. you know you have worth so come through!
