You’re fully living your life.
Your relationships are flourishing.
All parts of your life and work are well-resourced & running with ease.
The impact of your vibrancy and vitality — and that of your business or organization —
is expanding justice and equity in ways you never thought possible.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING FOR.
Welcome, Courageous Thriver. We’re so glad you’re here.
HOW WE DO IT:
Boutique Financial Services for Black-Led Non-Profits
We help Black non-profit leaders develop a strong, forward-looking financial foundation so they can expand—or deepen—their work and impact and stop burning the candle at both ends just to keep the doors open.
Liberatory Life Coaching for Leaders
We help accomplished —and exhausted—social-justice-oriented leaders prioritize themselves, so they can live their purpose, no holds barred, without sacrificing their mental and physical health, relationships, and joy for the cause.
Spoiler alert: You get to make a bigger impact at the same time.
Collaborative Racial Equity Consulting and Training
We help wellness and spirituality-focused organizations and online communities, create spaces and programs in which all people — especially those with the most systematically marginalized racial and ethnic identities — feel seen, respected and welcomed and experience equitable outcomes as a result.
Thriving for Equity Retreats and Travel
Coming soon! Designed especially with Black and interracial couples in mind. Get on the waiting list to be the first to hear details.
Hello! It’s nice to meet you.
We’re Dr. Deborah Shine Valentine, M.A., Ph. D. and Mr. David V. Valentine, MBA — otherwise known as Deb and Dave.
We’re longtime partners in life and more recent partners in business.
Together we support individual leaders, social impact organizations, and solopreneurs to create deeply nourished and nourishing lives and organizations so they can spread love, healing and justice from a place of ample resources - financial, energetic, organizational, and emotional.
Our clients learn how to let go of struggling and striving, judgment and shame, and sacrifice and suffering as the way to bring positive change in the world. With our support, they create ways of being, leading, and working that are rooted in the dignity and flourishing of us all.
THRIVING FOR EQUITY IS A CULTURE-SHIFTING PATH.
IT TAKES COURAGE.
BUT YOU HAVE THAT IN SPADES.
Thriving...
1) growing or developing vigorously, growing luxuriantly; flourishing, 2) gaining wealth or success, prospering; 3) progressing toward or realizing a goal despite or because of circumstances – ex. to thrive on solving challenging problems.
Equity...
1) Fairness and justice in process and results. A condition in which there are no aspects of human identity that predict unequal outcomes (race, gender, ability, nationality, etc.), 2) The value of an investor’s ownership of an asset. Total assets minus total liabilities (including debt).
T4E - Thriving for Equity®...
To flourish — as an individual and/or organization — as one creatively solves challenging problems that benefit the collective, leading to a world in which everyone has the emotional, physical, financial, relational, educational, spiritual resources that they need to thrive.
