I am Dr. Kenya Nyota Lee
As a woman of color professional, I understand the many challenges and triumphs that you experience and perceive through the lens of your multiple roles and identities.
It is my mission to help women professionals to celebrate their authentic selves and achieve joy and success on their own terms.
There was point in my career that I was at an impasse, and felt like I was intended for a greater purpose, an opportunity for professional exploration & growth. So I created a vision for my life that allowed me to bring my whole self to the table and to reach my highest potential by helping others to reach their highest potential. I created a vibrant vision of joy and success that aligns my values, strengths and aspirations and I walk a path that brings the vision to fruition.
