Breaking Barriers, Building Businesses, and Creating Opportunities

Like many of you, I know firsthand the challenges and triumphs of building something from the ground up. As a Black woman and the Founder & CEO of Bizsentials Consulting Firm, I understand the unique hurdles we face as entrepreneurs of color. We often have to work twice as hard to get half the recognition, and access to resources can feel like an uphill battle.

That’s exactly why I created Bizsentials—to level the playing field and empower small businesses, particularly those owned by people of color, to not just survive, but thrive.

I’ve walked in your shoes. I know the late nights, the constant hustle, and the unwavering belief in your vision. At Bizsentials, we don’t just offer consulting services—we offer partnership.

We become an extension of your team, learning your specific needs and challenges, and working alongside you to build, scale, and sustain a successful business.

We’re not just consultants. We’re advocates, champions, and believers in your potential.

My journey hasn’t been easy, but it has fueled my passion to help others succeed. I believe in the power of our community, the incredible innovation within us, and the resilience that drives us forward. Bizsentials is more than just a business—it’s a platform to uplift and empower entrepreneurs, providing the support, strategy, and resources necessary to break barriers and create generational success.
