The Impact Tho...

"Before working with Mercedes I was struggling. While working with her she helped me to realize my personal goals, strengths, achievements and really hone into what brings me joy. 

After some real inner work and knowing my value, skills and ambition. I made the bold choice to QUIT MY JOB!  3 days after quitting my job I landed a client that completely replaced my 9-5 net monthly income."

Career & Business Coaching Client

"Mercedes’ presence on the panel was electric. She spoke with honesty about unmasking ADHD, workplace burnout, and the need for systems to change. Her bold belief in liberation as a career strategy for Black women was one of the most memorable takeaways of the Summit for me and many other attendees! 

She shared her experiences working in HR as a Black woman with ADHD and challenged us to redefine success on our own terms. Whether you’re leading DEI work, supporting Black women professionals, or creating healthier workplaces, I highly recommend Mercedes."

- Coach Lee
Summit Organizer

"Working with Mercedes was great! She followed our guidelines for posting and drafts and kept everything so organized in the Notion space. She shared on several platforms, which really helped visibility. The overall process and deliverables were great!"
