I am Dr. Kenya Nyota Lee.
I am a writer, storyteller and transformation guide. As a woman who has navigated the intersections of leadership, creativity and community for more than two decades, I understand the beauty and complexity of holding many roles and identities at once. Our stories are layered. Our brilliance is multifaceted. And our power is often forged in spaces that weren’t built with us in mind.
It is my purpose to help women to celebrate their authentic selves and achieve joy and success on their own terms.
There was a time in my own journey when I stood at an impasse, sensing that I was meant for something more expansive, more aligned, more me. So I began to reimagine what success could look like on my own terms. I created a vision rooted in joy, purpose and wholeness…a life that allows me to bring my full self to every table I sit at.
Today, I walk that path with intention, helping other women honor their truths, embrace their creative power, and step boldly into what’s next. My work is not about fixing or striving…it’s about becoming, remembering and imagining new possibilities.
