We’ve all been fed the Capitalist & White Supremacist Kool-Aid all our lives. The kind of nonsense that starts with ‘you’re not enough’, and ends with ‘it’s okay to give up sleep for a year if that means working towards success’. We’ve been taught that there’s...

Your girl’s gonna get straight to the point today. Revolutionary business is ALL about the right leadership. It’s about showing up in your community, standing at the frontlines of your movement, and leading your people to freedom. Now when we talk about leadership, we...

The first rule of business is that there are no rules. Y’all know that I’m all about liberating myself from the hustle and grind culture, slowing down, defining my own pace, tuning in to my intuition, and living in the present. But your girl wasn’t always this breezy....

Let’s go back in time shall we? Those of you who’ve been following Revolutionary Rising might know this, but I grew up as one of the only Black girls in a predominantly white world. Like most of us, I learned that blackness is unacceptable, and your proximity to...

We were taught to always fight for our place at the table. To do what it takes, even it meant having to elbow somebody else out of their seat. But doing it all alone can get exhausting - and it strips us of what we all deserve as women and femmes of color… ...ease....

As human beings, we’re naturally inclined to watch other people and imitate their actions in order to survive. And as women and femmes of color, society teaches us to second-guess our every thought and action. We’re told that business is cutthroat, there is no place...

I need money to put food on my table. I need money to get my kids to school. I need money to live the good life. I bet some of y’all had these thoughts running through your heads when you heard my podcast on Thursday. And you ain’t wrong, sis. You do need the money....

Stay in your lane, don’t rock the boat, take what you’re given and don’t complain. Well, I’m calling bullshit. And I bet you are too. Times are changing. There’s momentum building…I feel it in my bones. Something that has become crystal clear for me is that this...

What is a revolution? It’s not just standing in a crowd with signs in hand (though that’s pretty damn important). For better or for worse, as women and femmes of color, revolution permeates the very walls of our businesses. And it bleeds into everything we do, like:...

Wow, it has been such a long couple of weeks. I didn’t publish a blog last week because, well, I’m human. On top of that, I’m a black, female-identifying human...so, I needed some rest. Even now, two weeks into this civil rights movement - I’m finding my energy low,...

Here’s the one thing you have to stop doing if you want to make more money, faster: Telling yourself that your ideal client isn’t in your current audience or network. Right now, you’re not making the kind of money that you want to make, and you’re telling yourself...

Make sure you’re not holding yourself back in your business because you’re secretly afraid you can’t handle it. I know it’s easy to believe that you’ll have to become a new, upgraded version of yourself to be able to handle everything in your business. I want to make...

Let’s just be real: it’s a rough week to be a WOC business owner. Unlike our white counterparts, we’re forced to navigate our emotions and retraumatization around the injustice in this country…. ...while also trying to run a business. It’s not easy...so, I wanted to...

There are a couple folks on my feed whose content has been repelling me lately, and I couldn’t figure out why. Multiple times a day, there’s posts about their epic client wins, their unparalleled relationship, the list goes on. At first I thought I was triggered by...

Are you struggling to find inspiration for your content? I could give you a ton of prompts to light your content on fire... ...but tbh, those content prompts you love are just a crutch. Here's the real ass solution: You've gotta start looking for the inspiration....

I don't know about you, but I'm always trying to fix something about my business. My messaging. My systems. My content that I'm delivering to my clients. Literally, I am always trying to fix all of the things. Seeing the problems & holes in things is one of my...

I want to tell you a really cool story about one of my favorite, unicorn clients, who recently told me, “I have to say, I’m a testament to your magic.” She reached out with an update on her life, letting me know that she had: 🙌Quit her corporate job 🙌Launched a...

The hardest part about being visible in your business isn't the actual creation of content. The hardest parts are: believing that you have something to say. saying the thing that you want, even when you’re pretty sure someone’s going to disagree. knowing that you can...

Do you ever catch yourself wondering, “How does she do it?” As you watch your favorite coach have another 50k month? You’re convinced that she has a better: 💕strategy 💕audience 💕message 💕sales call flow or whatever other B.S. you’ve equated leading to success. Can I...

I was reminded of the beauty in the world this morning. 
One of my mastermind clients had made a really personal, vulnerable share in our mastermind group last night. 13 hours later, I checked in and was shocked because: 🙋🏿‍♀️every single womxn in the mastermind had...

You have to pay attention to what you’re thinking. Because your thoughts dictate the way you act. And the way you act dictates the money you make in your biz. I’ll give you an example: I just had a really incredible womxn join my business mastermind. But it was a...

I’m talking to an incredible womxn entrepreneur who is ready to scale her business for real in 2020. She believes in herself. She happened upon me and my work. She totally gets how what I do and feels like the way I do it is exactly what she needs to grow her biz. But...

You are perfect the way you are. Your sensitivity is not a burden. Your unique set of needs are not strange. You are not wrong for wanting and needing something different. You have the most beautiful of souls. I know this because I am you, I’ve loved you, and I’ve...

I sat next to the most annoying guy on the plane the other day. He asked 20 questions to figure out what kind of drink he wanted to order. He asked if someone would switch him out of his middle seat. He asked for a blanket. He asked me to turn my light off, even...

I want to tell you about a client of mine. Her voice was choked up in tears as she told me,“I just never feel good enough.” She felt like all her friends’ businesses were doing better than her’s. She was worried that if she did collaborations with other coaches, she’d...

The end of the year is only days away - holy fucking hell. I don’t know about you, but this has been a year for me. It’s been a huge, excruciating, exciting, and wonderful year full of massive wins...like turning my part time side hustle into a full-time, six figure...

I need you to hear me when I say this: YOU DO NOT NEED MORE DISCIPLINE. I am so tired of women coming to me… ...beating themselves up. ….calling themselves lazy. ….convinced that there’s just something wrong with them… Just because they’re not managing their time...

Want to see your therapist’s jaw literally drop? Say this out loud: “I feel worthless. I’m ashamed that my husband has to tell people I’m his wife.” As I continued explaining why (and she put her jaw back together), she stopped my thoughts with this question......

My dad always says I would’ve been an incredible lawyer. (Honestly, whose parents aren't still telling them they would’ve been the perfect doctor or lawyer?) “There’s no point in going toe to toe with you- you thrive on proving a point.” He’s right - and not because I...

If you’re anything like me, you might not want to trust your intuition, because damn, it’s done you dirty sometimes. You heard it…. You listened... ….and then you fell right on your face. I know you know what I’m talking about. Then it made you think, how could my...

Recently, I had one of those Mondays where I woke up and didn’t want to do anything. Ever been there? It was 9 am, and I was trying to force myself to sit down to my computer and do some work, but it felt like a massive uphill battle. (I know you feel me on that one.)...

Last week I talked about the power of your intuition, and how it can give you the answers in your darkest hour if you’re open to listening. Today, we’re going to stop waiting for the answers - we’re going to seek them out. Why? Because it’s not enough to have...
