Hey there -  I’m Lekeshia Angelique, Diversity Consultant.

My mission is to empower not just Black women but every human to have a powerful voice and an equitable seat at any table they desire to be seated at.

I’m Lekeshia Angelique. Army Veteran, Mom, Coach, Taco Aficionado, and creator of safe spaces to educate folx. The key to change is knowledge and empathy.

It is important to me to create a culture of knowledge, as the more knowledgeable we are of one another’s experiences, the more likely it is that we will take the steps to effect change.

Working for over 20 years for the U.S Army and the Federal Government has taken me on many different paths that have led me to where I am today. 

Most often, I have been the only Black woman in powerful meetings.

I’ve had to learn not only to have a seat at the table but a voice while there. 

Time and again, I saw the need to empower more women in leadership roles and the massive need to fill the gaps in businesses around diversity, equity, and inclusion education. 

My unique educational background has also led me (unknowingly) to be in the position I am in today, owning my own business doing exactly what I love. I completed a year under the mentorship of the Diversity and Inclusion Executive at Colgate, where I gained valuable lessons and practical, hands-on experience in a large corporate setting.

This path has given me the confidence to move away from corporate life where, after a time, I found myself out of alignment with my core values. It has taught me about failure, empathy, mentoring, and the ability to meet people where they’re at without judgement.
