Not only is she a superb listener, but Kimberly is also uniquely gifted in packing a wealth of knowledge and expertise into simple, usable steps. Her clarity, confidence, and unflagging commitment to my happiness and success have helped me realize now the future for myself that I’ve always seen, but wasn’t sure how to reach. I’m truly grateful for her presence in my life!"

"I asked Kimberly to serve as my coach because I wanted an experienced woman of color to help me navigate workplace issues at the executive level, and I had watched her effectively handle a variety of complex challenges with grace, clarity and strength. Kimberly's contributions and insights are key to my own journey as a Black woman in leadership."

"When I began my journey as a DEI practitioner, I was overwhelmed and took every problem as a call to action. I learned as a woman of color that if I wanted to make a difference, I needed to find and create my own path. Kimberly helped me understand the importance of speaking with agency, even when I felt as small as a mouse in a maze full of obstacles. Her professionalism and patience as she listened and helped me problem-solve, and her ability to show me how to get out of my own way and call out my blindspots, were AMAZING. I highly recommend Kimberly as a professional coach for anyone working in DEI or any people-centered field."
