Brand Sovereignty Consulting

Custom 1:1 partnerships for leaders who need deep, strategic support navigating the authenticity gap. This isn't a package. It's a collaboration tailored to your specific needs, timeline and challenges.

This is for you if:

The Intensive timeline doesn't work for your schedule
You need more customized support than a cohort program offers
You're navigating a specific brand crisis or transition
You need a strategic partner, not just a service provider
Your work requires confidentiality or nuanced guidance
You want someone in the trenches with you, not just giving advice

What consulting looks like:

Every partnership is different because every authenticity gap is different. Some clients need full brand foundation work. Others need creative direction for a specific launch. Some need someone to push them lovingly off the cliff into deeper purpose. Some need all of the above.
This is custom work. We start with discovery, design the engagement around your needs and move at your pace.

The Process

1. Discovery Call (Free, 30 minutes)

We talk about where you are, what the authenticity gap looks like for you and whether this partnership makes sense. No pressure, no pitch. Just honest conversation about your needs.

2. Custom Proposal

If we're aligned, I create a proposal outlining the scope, timeline, deliverables and investment. You review, we refine and you decide if it's right.

3. The Work

This is where we get in the trenches. The format depends on your needs. Weekly calls, intensive sessions, async support, in-person working days or a mix. We design it together.

4. Ongoing Support

Most partnerships include follow-up support after the core work ends. Because the hard part isn't building the brand, it's using it in the world.

The Investment

Consulting partnerships start at $2,500 and scale based on scope, timeline and deliverables.

Why custom pricing?
Because cookie-cutter packages don't work for voice sovereignty work. Your needs are specific. Your budget might be tight. Your timeline might be urgent. We figure it out together.

Payment plans available. Scholarships and pro bono spots reserved for community organizers, grassroots leaders and folks doing urgent cultural work.

Consulting FAQs

How long does a consulting partnership last?
Anywhere from 4 weeks to 6 months, depending on the scope. Most partnerships are 8-12 weeks.

Can I do consulting if I'm also in The Intensive?
No. The Intensive is designed to be sufficient for most people. If you need deeper work, we can do consulting before or after the Intensive, but not during.

Do you work with men or non-Black women?
Occasionally, but my expertise is specifically in the challenges Black women face with authenticity, code-switching and platform suppression. If you're not a Black woman, I'll be honest in the discovery call about whether I'm the right person for your needs.

What if I'm not sure what I need?
That's what the discovery call is for. We'll talk through what you're experiencing and I'll tell you honestly if consulting is the right path or if another option (like The Intensive) makes more sense.

Can consulting be virtual?
Yes. Most consulting partnerships are virtual with optional in-person intensive days if needed and if schedules/budgets allow.

Do you offer retainer relationships?
Yes, for established clients who need ongoing strategic support. We discuss retainer options after an initial project if it makes sense for both of us.

We help Black women entrepreneurs, creatives and leaders:

Identify the authenticity gap - Name the gnawing feeling and trace its origins
Build brand foundations rooted in your actual voice, not market trends or copy/paste AI slop
Create owned platforms that can't be deleted or suppressed OR move more safely on chosen legacy platforms
Protect your narrative before AI replicates it or algorithms bury it
Speak with sovereignty (authenticity) in every space, online and IRL

This isn't marketing advice. This is survival strategy for the age of algorithmic silence and AI mimicry.
