I began this journey with the belief that building a business meant creating an environment of inclusion, belonging, and purpose—a place where everyone could thrive.

Yet, the more I engaged, the clearer it became:

For millions, work—the place where people spend one-third of their lives—still doesn’t feel like a space where they can truly be themselves. Instead, it often lacks safety, inclusivity, and the opportunity for meaningful growth.

This had to change—not just within my workplace but everywhere I could make an impact. And I knew this change couldn’t be superficial; true transformation requires embedding purpose, equity, and sustainability at the core of every team, every process, and every organization.

Having sat on all sides of the table—as an executive, board member, team member, and often as the first or only woman of color in leadership—I’m now dedicated to guiding organizations and individuals through holistic, transformative change. At Tayden, we go beyond DEI to address leadership, strategy, culture, and organizational growth. I help organizations build environments where people can excel, cultures can thrive, and impact is lasting.
