Meet Dr. Maya
The Founder
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to learn from prestigious institutions like the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, and Vanderbilt University, gaining insights that have shaped the work I do today. When I first began my journey, I never imagined how deeply I would connect with the mission of helping leaders and organizations bring their ideas to life in meaningful ways. For nearly two decades, I’ve worked alongside nonprofits, for-profits, and government teams—guiding them through challenges, redefining their purpose, and creating systems that make equity real, not just aspirational.
I’ve walked the path of scaling organizations, coaching leaders, and championing communities. I understand the challenges of leading with purpose, but I also know the incredible power of clarity, connection, and a well-crafted plan. As an adjunct professor at Vanderbilt, I’m proud to nurture the next generation of leaders who will carry this work forward.
Together, we’ll craft strategies that honor your values and create lasting impact—impact that will resonate with your team, your organization, and the communities you serve.

JOY IS FREEDOM!
"Joy is a freedom. It helps a person to find his/her [their] own liberation. The person who is joyous takes responsibility for the time he/she/[they] takes up and the space that he/she occupies."
- Dr. Maya Angelou

"Dr. Maya is perfectly poised to deliver outstanding results."
"From the outset, Maya conducted a comprehensive organizational assessment of our DEIB culture. Her approach was thorough, analytical, and always rooted in listening to the many voices within our nationally distributed learning organization. The insights she gathered formed the basis for a theory of change and organizational strategic plan that was both visionary and practical, inspiring and actionable."
