HEY, Y'ALL, I'M AMBER.

HEY, Y'ALL, I'M AMBER.

I’m a speaker, facilitator, consultant, adult educator, and school psychologist who is on a mission to build a liberated world where each person’s passion originates from a deep, felt sense of their own innate power.

“To work every day with only a dream and imagination that perhaps the next generations will enjoy what you’ve created. This is the type of work of belonging...What are we working on and toiling over that won’t be completed in our lifetime? That’s when we know we’re actually working on something. We need to influence the culture makers, the thinkers, the practitioners, the entrepreneurs, to build differently.”

—Ben McBride

MEET AMBER

AUTHENTICITY ARCHITECT. CONNECTOR CURATOR. NARRATIVE NAVIGATOR.

Growing up as a little Black girl in a predominately White town, abandoned by my mother, I became acutely aware of what it means to be "othered." These early experiences shaped my identity and ignited my core values of liberation, authenticity, curiosity, connection, and growth, ultimately leading me to a career in school psychology and adult education.

I understand firsthand how the stories we tell ourselves can keep us bound, which is why I’ve always felt a natural inclination to amplify the voices of youth and adults struggling to speak their truth. By drawing on my lived experiences, education, and facilitation skills, I guide individuals and teams toward self-awareness and nonjudgmental, mindful inquiry. Through my 3D Power Tools Framework, I help create spaces where we can address the “elephant in the room,” as I believe there is immense power in naming the issues that linger in the shadows, silently eroding our schools, communities, and organizations.

By speaking these truths, we unlock the freedom to imagine and co-create a more inclusive, dignity-affirming world that we all deserve to inhabit. In doing so, we dismantle barriers and learn to radically love ourselves and each other. This is the transformative work of liberation, and I invite you to journey with me.

We commit to stay rooted in our values, prioritize our strengths, and nourish our universal basic needs to live out our mission and relentlessly aspire toward our vision.

CORE VALUES

  • We foster an environment where individuals are encouraged to bring their whole selves, aligning actions with core beliefs and values. To us, authenticity means embracing unique identities, expressing thoughts and emotions honestly, and building trust through transparency and genuine connections.

  • We prioritize building meaningful relationships, rooted in empathy, compassion, and shared purpose. Connection is central to our work as we cultivate trust and a sense of belonging within our community, enriching our work through open, supportive interactions.

  • We are committed to a culture of continuous learning, exploration, and understanding. Curiosity drives us to question assumptions, embrace diverse perspectives, and pursue discovery, fueling both individual and collective growth.

  • We believe in collective leadership, where guidance and insight flow mutually across all levels. Leadership is a shared responsibility rooted in our collective wisdom, enabling each individual to influence, support, and inspire one another. We recognize that wisdom exists across generations and value how everyone’s unique strengths contribute to achieving our shared goals.

  • We strive to break down barriers that inhibit freedom and growth, advocating for autonomy, equity, and justice. Liberation is at the heart of our mission, challenging systemic and cultural constraints to create spaces where everyone can thrive authentically and contribute meaningfully.
