Hello!
My name is Ebony.
I’ve spent over 20 years building bridges between people, organizations, and movements to create lasting change. My work is rooted in Black feminisms, ancestral wisdom and healing-centered practices, because I believe true liberation starts when we honor our whole selves while reimagining systems.
At my core, I’m a weaver of transformative connections. Whether designing cross-sector partnerships that amplify resources, facilitating national convenings that turn theory into action, or nurturing networks of Liberatory Coaches and movement leaders, I’m driven by these simple truths: Healing is possible. Magic is real. Love is the answer.
Today, I lead communications and events at Coaching for Healing, Justice & Liberation, where I orchestrate experiences like our |RE|UNION gatherings—spaces where 150+ leaders reconnect, strategize, and reignite their purpose.
I also run Honeysuckle Creatives, my coaching and consulting practice supporting Black women and gender-expansive leaders in the radical and expansive work of SELF (-care, -acceptance, -actualization, -love, and -transformation). I created Honeysuckle Creatives after years of unpaid labor and hollow DEI theater. I witnessed organizations demand our pain but ignore our power. So, I flipped the script:
I coach emerging BIPOC leaders to lead with ferocious authenticity.
I design events that honor our wholeness of our humanness.
I consult institutions ready to trade performative gestures for transformative justice.
I am an Olorisha in the Lucumi tradition of Ifa, healer, and poet.
Past chapters include being a full-time Auntie to my niblings, organizing grassroots community movements and shaping policy, writing and publishing a book of poetry, co-designing community leadership initiatives as a W.K. Kellogg Fellow, and founding the Creative Bravos Award-winning platform, Burque Noir.
These days, when I am not coconspiring with my coach partners, or dreaming up beautiful opportunities for humans to BE together, you’ll find me in my hammock with a book, tending to my own healing, or laughing with loved ones.
Let’s co-create something irresistible!
If you’re ready to build coalitions that move mountains, design spaces where Black people thrive, dream your way free, or weave justice into the fabric of your work; I’d love to connect!
