“Worldview is the soil. Your choices, habits, fears, and aspirations are the fruit.” —Anita D Russell
PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT
I am a personal transformation expert and empowerment activist fusing faith, intellect, and firebrand leadership to ignite personal transformation.
I don’t just build or facilitate workshops, I build movements—personal, transformational, and empowering.
Whether it’s life coaching, feminine wisdom, or cooperative economics, I turn ideas into actionable blueprints wrapped in vibrant design and soul-deep reflection. My voice is unmistakable: strategic, empowering, and unshakably rooted in truth.
WORLDVIEW & REIMAGINE WE
I am also the architect of the Reimagine We Platform, where critical self-reflection is the intentional practice of examining one’s innermost thoughts, beliefs ideas, and inherited worldview narratives. The Reimagine We Empowerment Lab is a powerful yearlong journey—an experiential learning program designed, developed, and facilitated in collaboration with Ujamaa Collective, located in the Historic Hill District of Pittsburgh PA.
Launching in summer of 2026, the lab connects empowerment to the broader historical and personal journey of transformation and liberation towards cooperation (TLC) through worldview formation.

“MANNA Worldwide Through a Reimagine We Lens”
Episode 106 | May 6, 2026
This reflective conversation is an examination of MANNA Worldwide, described on their website as ” a Christian organization on a mission to rescue children from the grip of poverty. Overview of MANNA Worldwide:
- Founding intent: addressing global poverty through faith-based service
- Expansion into multiple countries and program areas
- Mission trips
Our conversation centers this question: How do we define empowerment-and how do our actions align with that definition?”
Special Offer: Reimagine We Complimentary Workshop
The Conversation Most People Avoid-But Can’t Afford To Ignore:
A bold, guided experience to (1) confront the beliefs shaping how you see yourself, others, and the world and (2) examine the belief systems underneath them.

Examine Your Worldview Formation:
A Bold, Guided Experience to Examine the Beliefs Shaping How You See.
Consider this…
What if you don’t see the world as it is.
What if what you see is what you were trained to see; what if your beliefs didn’t start with you.
What if your beliefs were formed… reinforced…defended.
In the language of imagine We, this is called “Worldview Formation.” And until you examine Worldview—you don’t change anything. This conversation is not a lecture. It is a disruption—an experience that creates space to pause, examine, and reimagine your own worldview.

“The Black Ekphrastic at the Crossroads of Poetry & Art”
An ekphrastic poem is a vivid poetic description of a scene, a work of art, or any other artistic genre, such as film, music, or dance. My ekphrastic poem is entitled “The Blueness of an African Butterfly”, inspired by the work of New York Artist, JD Baez. The poem also reflects my disdain for the concept of “colorblindness” as it relates to racism and human beings.
