I’ve got a couple of things I’m doing that I’d call my life’s joy (formerly called life’s work). Being a mom to my two kids gives me a chance to directly influence two people that will do great things in this beautiful, chaotic, wild world. Yes!
My life’s joy is also helping leaders build inspiring organizations that they love. There’s no better way to spend precious life time! The unique organizations we create together impact so many people for the better.
I have been told I’m a catalyst for transformation. To do this work I have a commitment to be awake in every aspect of my life, a commitment to equity and abundance, and a vow to be content in being both polished and a messy work in progress.
Witty things make me laugh. Kindred spirits fill me up. I love the sky, trees and water. Ask me to travel, sing, dance, hike, or see live music and I’m immediately in. Skiing and camping are a blast once you’ve started but the prep almost makes me not want to go. Someday I’ll be deeply settled in my body and soul and helping others to do the same.
And yeah, I have all those credentials one typically needs to be declared legit. Twenty-five plus wisdom-building years grinding it out as a global HR leader; Undergrad in Human Resources, Masters in Organizational Development & Leadership, Certifications galore. In 2019, I became one of the world’s first Certified Conscious Capitalism Consultants*.
Our work together will fill everyone, including us, with joy and inspiration. Yes, we can do that! Yes, that’s what we are doing! Join us!

I have an affinity for seeing the joy in people when they make connections in whatever they’re seeking answers to. I look very serious, but I have a goofy side, and at least my oldest daughter can appreciate it. (not my youngest daughter so much) I appreciate a good sense of humor and speak sarcasm fluently. The Democratic Republic of the Congo is my birth home. New York City raised me, and now, as a military family traveling all over the USA, Colorado is where we are building our new community. I am Congolese-American, a term I learned as an adult that I can't identify with. I am struggling to write about myself because I find it so daunting. However, I do understand why it is essential for others to understand why I am in this space. I have two incredible daughters who teach me daily what freedom and free spirits look like. Through their world, I am constantly evolving and learning. I am married to a cool guy who loves cooking and fishing, and I love everything else but fishing, especially for our travel plans.
As a Congolese-American immigrant, my lived experience in the United States has fueled my passion for developing safe spaces and facilitating conversations about equity and belonging. In my past life, I worked in various positions in human resources in for-profit, non-profit, and government spaces. I stepped away from the workspace to be a stay-at-home mom, and now I am back on the journey of creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and have a sense of belonging. I hold a bachelor's in management and soon a master's in organizational leadership. I greatly appreciate creating spaces of belonging and difficult conversations with diverse perspectives. The goal is not to get it right; it is to make mistakes and adjust; that is the process of humanness. I am a student of cultural understanding, its intersections with our identities, and how that can help us build community. On this journey, I found Conscious Revolution, a space where I can bring my values and vision to fruition among like-minded souls.
