Coaching for Black women leading in white spaces.

About Kelli King-Jackson, LLC

Hi, Y’all!

Kelli is standing with one arm crossed, her head resting on her neck as her elbow rests on the top of a chair. She is smiling and wears a black shirt with 'hella black' written in white letters.

My name is Kelli (she/her). I am part 🙅🏾‍♀️ social justice warrior, part 🧘🏾‍♀️ woo-woo.

I am a certified professional coach to Black women leading in white spaces.  In addition to coaching, I work with organizations truly committed to justice for Black women by providing philanthropic advising, facilitation, and speaking services.

I have over twenty-five years of experience in the nonprofit and philanthropic sectors.

Can you say OG?!  🧑🏾‍🦳

I spent too much time in those sectors contorting my leadership to be ‘successful.’  It left me frustrated and exhausted.  I started by unpacking everything I thought I knew about being a leader.  Every day I am unlearning and rebuilding how I lead.  I am a work in progress aiming for less doing leadership and more being, or embodying leadership.

If I sound like your people, welcome! 🙋🏾‍♀️. I’m glad you’re here.

I started this business with YOU in mind.  I do this work because I love Black women and I want us to be free.  So when I started my business, I committed to do my work differently and to help others tap into that same agency.  My work is rooted in my mission, vision, and values.  Before deciding to work with me, I’d like to share them below.

Values

This image displays a clean and bold graphic highlighting six core values. At the top, the words "Core VALUES" are written in a mix of elegant red script and strong black capital letters. Below, six red circles are arranged in two rows, each containing a value written in white capital letters: "SISTERHOOD," "JUSTICE," "JOY," "GROWTH," "GIVING BACK," and "LEGACY." At the bottom of the image, the website "WWW.IAMKELLI.COM" is displayed in black text, grounding the design with a call to learn more. The

Logo

love and freedom written out with a fawohodie symbol in between the words

The logo for Kelli King-Jackson, LLC is a remix of the Adinkra symbol for freedom – Fawohodie. The tagline for the business is love + freedom. Our work is to coach the people and organizations we work with to love their leadership so they can be free to have a sector-shifting impact.
