Supporting Nonprofit Consultants to Build Thriving Businesses

Are you a former nonprofit leader or staff member thinking about starting a consulting business but unsure where to begin? Or maybe you’ve already started, but you’re feeling stuck? You are not alone. Building a consulting business is different than working for and running a nonprofit—especially when it comes to marketing and selling to our communities.

Starting and growing a consulting practice as a BIPOC or social impact professional is different. Traditional business advice often doesn’t speak to the realities we navigate: the power dynamics, histories of oppression, and urgent need for community-centered work.

I’m here to help you build a business that honors your values, centers your lived experience, and sustains you for the long haul. Whether you’re just starting out or ready to grow, my coaching is designed with one goal in mind: helping you build a financially viable, liberatory business that fuels your work for justice.

Business Coaching for Nonprofit Consultants and Social Impact Entrepreneurs

My approach:

  • Culturally responsive business coaching that meets you where you are.

  • Concrete, practical support—no vague advice here.

  • Trauma-informed, relationship-driven guidance that acknowledges scarcity and burnout.

  • Coaching framed not just as business development, but as sustainability as resistance.

Why Work With Me

I know what it’s like to navigate the nonprofit sector in times of uncertainty. I've led organizations through funding cuts, political backlash, and growing pressure to do more with fewer resources. And as a consultant myself, I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel to build a business that stays true to your values while still needing to be financially sustainable.

I started offering coaching because I believe we need more support that meets the realities of this moment. Nonprofits are underfunded, DEIB work is under attack, and consultants committed to justice are carrying more than ever.

My approach isn’t about quick fixes or corporate formulas. It’s about helping you build a resilient, values-centered business that sustains you—and the communities you care about—for the long term. Because survival isn’t enough. We deserve to thrive.
