Creating Safe Spaces for Black Women to Heal and Thrive.

Stories of Transformation

"My session with Marissa was truly helpful. Her exceptional listening skills create a safe space where you can be authentically yourself, free from harsh judgment—something I, as a Black woman, deeply appreciated. Marissa's intuitive understanding pinpointed exactly where I could grow and identified the areas where I felt stuck. Her insights were spot-on and energizing. If you're seeking a confidante to brainstorm ideas with and a cheerleader to boost your confidence, look no further. Marissa is the one you want to work with!"

“My interactions with Marissa have been validating and healing. She is excellent with describing the toxic experiences and the harmful impacts. She also helped me to steer away from blame and shame and instead to focus on the systemic oppressive structures.”
Carla
“Receiving coaching from Marissa was an enlightening experience. She gave me insight on avenues I could take in my business that I hadn't thought of. One of which led me to a great opportunity. Marissa's soothing voice and social worker style coaching puts you at ease to share your struggles while she shares her knowledge, experience, and empathy. I highly recommend a coaching session with Marissa to get you on your way.”
“Working with Marissa as my Virtual Assistant was a pleasure. She had a positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm for helping my business succeed. Her attention to detail, accuracy, and ability to learn quickly and execute tasks with minimal guidance and error made her an invaluable part of my day-to-day operations. I was genuinely sad to see her go as she transitioned to coaching, but I know she will do well in this new endeavor.”

“Marissa was an absolute game-changer when I launched From Lack to Legacy in 2024. Her expertise in building out backend automations, crafting seamless email funnels, and designing high-converting landing pages was critical to the successful launch of my consultation services and coaching program. She brought structure, efficiency, and a strategic edge to my business that allowed me to focus on serving my clients and growing my community. Marissa’s professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to anticipate my needs were unparalleled. I couldn’t have launched without her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking to take their business to the next level.”
