Rooted Reclamation: Returning to Myself, Reimagining My Work
I’m blooming again!
When I started this work, it was with the reluctance of someone who didn’t fully trust their vision. I knew I wanted to build a practice around coaching and community but I was hell bent on attaching it to the corporate workplaces I was so used to navigating. Many of my mentors shared their journeys into entrepreneurship, and the easiest path seemed to be building my brand and bank while working full-time. So I anchored into a reality where I could build my vision and also support someone else’s.
After a layoff last fall, I had the opportunity to step away from the constant doing—away from the inboxes and Zoom rooms, the calendar invites, the reorgs and project meetings—and I entered a season of stillness. It was unplanned but deeply necessary. For the first time in years, I had space to ask: What do I want my work to feel like now? What season am I truly in?
The answers came slowly, as they do when you're listening deeply for a quite truth. I couldn’t stay tethered to the corporate environments that had left me burnt out and creatively tapped and give the proper care to my vision for impact. I needed to root into something more honest, more alive, and more aligned with the values I was cultivating in my own life.
And so, Rooted Reclamation was born.
Why “Rooted Reclamation”
My former business name—L3 Consulting Services LLC—was created with a vision that was tightly intertwined with institutions. It sounded professional. Polished. Safe. And while it supported the incredible work I’ve done in DEI, coaching, and culture strategy, it kept me tethered to a version of my practice that prioritized being legible to external systems over being aligned with me and the community I serve.
Rooted Reclamation represents a return to self and divine trust. It chooses service over ego. It honors the people I want support—especially Black women and gender expansive people of color—in their own process of unlearning, unfolding, and becoming. It is rooted in care, community, cultivation, and liberation—and it trusts that the most important work we do often begins within.
It allows me to re-orient around work in a way that feels sustainable. It gives new creative energy and hope that more of my peers can reach this place of self-trust and success. It speaks to the core of my offering to my community to remember our great dreams and bring spaciousness to our lives.
(Re)Introducing the SOLO Method
For months, I struggled to articulate what was emerging as a signature part of my work. I knew I was guiding people through transitions that mirrored my own—reclaiming voice, values, and visions. But something wasn’t landing about the language and being visible in my own journey toward transformation. I kept thinkings needed time to feel all the way through the stages of my transition, knowing even then that there is no final state—and that the only constant is change.
Again, trust has been core to sharing this work, and I offer the SOLO Method as a tribute to the journey I have been on in this season.
SOLO—Stillness, Openness, Loving Kindness, and Ownership— emerged not as a formula, but as a practice. It mirrors my own journey through sabbatical, uncertainty, release, and realignment. It now shapes how I coach, how I care, and how I guide others through reclamation.
What’s Shifting / What’s Staying
This rebrand is both a return and a renewal. Some of my core offerings remain—but their names and containers now better reflect the energy and intention behind them:
Affirmation Hour is now Rooted Reset — a single, nourishing 1:1 session to clarify what’s rising and root into your next step. Inspired by my community who are affirmed by taking time to center particular challenges.
1:1 Empowerment Coaching Series, or The SOLO Journey, is evolving to center the SOLO Method more intentionally, but still offers the same support to those navigating a major transition, reimagining leadership, or rebuilding after burnout.
Community workshops and events will continue, now be gathered under the Rooted Reclamation Circle name and voice—which I hope will imbue them with deeper intention to build connection within the community.
Inclusive Cultural Strategy and Consulting now fits under Conscious Leadership & Culture Strategy. As a casualty of the shifting commitment to DEI in the U.S., the language and title may evolve, but the heart of the work—to build environments where employees can feel safe, valued, and empowered to make their greatest impact—remains the same.
A Soft Invitation ✨
My commitment to holding space for clarity, care, and cultural truth stays no matter how many times I rebrand and rename my work. My love for guiding others through transition. My deep belief in the power of imagination, ritual, and collective care.
If you’ve been feeling the urge to pause, to pivot, to recalibrate—this work is for you.
If you’ve been navigating burnout, isolation, or the quiet knowing that your work is meant to feel different—I would be honored to walk with you.
You don’t need to be certain. You just need to be willing to return to yourself.
Unpack your bag. Reclaim your rhythm. Reimagine what’s next.
