I work with entrepreneurs who historically haven't had access to a trusted, objective, and experienced business advisor. Collaborating with Black, LBGTQ, and women business owners has been my focus for the past 15 years. I provide strategic insight about how best to manage your very limited time, energy, and money when building and sustaining a profitable business. My goal is to help my clients make well informed financial, legal, hiring/retaining, and mental health decisions so they can be less overwhelmed and more confident as a business owner.
