You’re an advocate for change. We’re an advocate for you.
We’re about one thing. Helping you embrace your enoughness so that you can step into your full humanity, embody your joy, and get rooted in your own liberation.
LEt’s be real
This shit is hard takes heart.
Living within our freedom has always been packaged as a gift in the future we’d never be able to open. But we call bullshit. As movement makers, we believe you have the right to step into that freedom NOW because it’s impossible to fight for a freedom you already disqualify yourself from embodying.
We want to help you heal from the scarcity routine you’re stuck in that leaves no time or space for your needs and desires. We want to help you fully realize your wildest dreams so that you can tap into your power and learn how to use them to show up for your community and radically transform how you show up for yourself.
We want to help you step into your role wholly as a living ancestor.
OUR VISION
A radically transformed world where Black folx embody their full humanity and thrive as their freest selves.
We’re here for the mess. ALL of it.
Healing, unlearning, and transforming from generations of stifled freedom and discovering your true desires is not exactly filled with the fun and excitement of a Sunday cookout. This work is hard and messy and may leave you feeling #shook. But through various services, you can trust that you won’t have to do any of it alone.
LIVING ANCESTOR MEETS PURPOSE WHISPERER
Meet our Lead Culture Alchemist, Stephanie Ghoston Paul
Friend, let me say that although I may not have grown up alongside you, I feel like I know so much about you. I know how our culture and community have shaped you to put yourself on the back burner. To settle for burnout in the pursuit of a world free from suffering. I know because, for so long, that was me.
As a paper-pushing lawyer that found herself unfulfilled and yearning for more, I knew that what I was working toward was not the life I wanted. And it wasn’t until someone walked me through discovering my true purpose that I came to life. I began going to conferences and immersed myself in coaching and my communities of practice.
I began helping people find out and lean into their purpose because that process was familiar to me. I committed to living intentionally and actively sought the things that made me come alive. And the rest, as they say, was history.
Today, as a speaker, coach, and consultant, I help movement makers find their true purpose and teach practices that help them embody their joy while operating as their freest selves. Yes, even as they’re changing the world.
We practice what we preach.

You’re a creative. You’re messy. You’re multi-dimensional. You’re Black, and you care deeply. Which is why it can be hard for you to separate your needs from the needs of the world. But in this space, there’s nothing we care about more.
We want to help you discover the roots of the uneasiness and discomfort that’s keeping you from true happiness. We want to teach you how to cultivate a culture of care that honors your needs and nourishes your dreams so that you can fully step into your genius and wisdom and no longer need our support.
We want you to put us out of business.
