Your lived experience is what makes you magnetic. In this episode of Unapologetically Visible, I discuss the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all personal branding advice, particularly for women of color and high-achieving individuals. I emphasize the importance of authenticity and identity in branding, and I share my signature framework, "Visibility to Legacy," which I use with my coaching clients within my coaching program that focuses on identity recalibration, voice activation, authority building, and leadership embodiment.


The conversation highlights the emotional and financial costs of surface-level branding tactics and encourages YOU to embrace your true selves in your branding efforts.
