MY “FOREVER MENTOR,”

DR. RITA SMITH-WADE-EL

My approach to reverse mentorship and coaching draws deeply from the foundation I built through my mentorship with the late Dr. Rita Smith-Wade-El, whose powerful commitment to developing scholar-activists greatly shaped my values and methods. Rita inspired me to foster academic excellence grounded in community and social change, emphasizing both theory and practice that is committed to transformative impact. This approach aligns directly with my work—whether I’m guiding you through reverse mentorship or coaching.

Reverse mentorship and coaching with me are designed to challenge assumptions, just as Rita challenged mine, prompting a transformative journey toward your truest self. Together, we will dive into the heart of who you are and how you wish to impact the world. Drawing on the 3D Power Tools Framework, I will help you discover, discern, and determine how to align your personal power with your values, fostering authentic, holistic growth. Through this process, we not only build personal agency but also create values-based leadership, similar to the way Rita uplifted voices for social change.

As adrienne maree brown wisely said, “It’s worthwhile to protect the miracle of our lives right now. I think it’s a shift from control to care. And I think that it’s a liberating path…to move into a care-based way of thinking of each other and thinking of community.” This perspective underscores my work with clients—asking how you can protect the miracle of your life today, while learning to shift from control to care in your approach to leadership, community, and personal growth. Through one-on-one sessions, I bring the combined insights of a school psychologist, adult educator, and millennial advocate for change—helping you align your personal narrative with your highest aspirations, in either focused intensive work or long-term mentorship.

Just as Rita nurtured my development as a scholar-activist, I invite you to join me in this journey of self-discovery, narrative shifting, and values-aligned living. Let’s create the conditions for your growth and leadership in ways that are meaningful and transformative.

“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the work you are doing. I had a very aggravating situation and I had to take a moment before I responded to the situation. When I did, I ended the email letting them know this is not a calling out but an invitation to learn together. And that opened up the teacher to reach out to me to learn more and become curious about how this history could be harmful not only for the few Black students in the room but our community as a whole. So thank you for the work you are doing. I am learning and loving through and it feels so much less overwhelming.”
