Leading In Life Enterprise

08/15/2026

I am deeply grateful to Memphis Allies of Youth Villages for featuring Leading In Life Enterprise™ and highlighting the work we have been trusted to do together.

This partnership is more than a contract to me. It is deeply personal.

I have witnessed within my own family what can happen when people are given time, opportunity, accountability, and support. I have seen lives change. I have seen painful experiences become sources of wisdom, strength, and purpose. Those experiences are part of why I believe so strongly that healthy people make healthier decisions, and healthier decisions help build healthier families and communities.

There is nothing more honorable than serving as a transformational partner in work that directly impacts people whose lives, voices, and futures matter.

Through our work with Memphis Allies, Leading In Life Enterprise™ helps participants strengthen their self-awareness, recognize how past experiences may be influencing present decisions, and develop healthier ways to think, respond, and lead their lives. We do not ignore where people have been. We help them recognize that their past does not have to control what they choose next.

Thank you to the Memphis Allies leadership, staff, and participants for trusting us to serve in this capacity. I do not take this responsibility or this recognition lightly.

Thank you to Jevonte Cortez Porter for your leadership and commitment to the building a whole Memphis!

Unresolved trauma carries consequences. It is why the phrase “hurt people hurt people” resonates. Emotional wounds are easily passed from one person to another, like a toxic baton. Kinah Burks, founder of Leading in Life Enterprise (LLE), a Memphis Allies partner, understands this truth.

I can finally say it out loud…
My first book is HERE. 🥹📖

The Now Navigator: A Journey from Numb to Known is a faith-forward, trauma-informed guide for frontline leaders, hospitality workers, nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs, and faith-based leaders who are tired of just “pushing through” and ready to actually heal, grow, and show up whole.

When you purchase this book, you’re not just supporting me as an author:
you’re helping fund free + reduced-cost emotional intelligence and resilience trainings for the very people who serve our communities daily—frontline and hospitality workers. 💼❤️

You’ll also get access to a digital workbook with action steps, reflection questions, and tools to help you apply what you read in real life.

This has been one of the hardest and holiest things I’ve ever done—and I’m so grateful God didn’t let me quit.

🔗 I’m dropping the link tomorrow.
If you’re in Memphis, I’ll be doing my best to get your copy to you in person. If you’re not, I’ll ship it to you with love.

Welcome to The Now Navigator. From numb to known. 🧭

Leadership tip: transparency and vulnerability should not be mistaken for immaturity. The ability of leaders to embody both states is a clear sign that they are unhindered by external factors and can drive growth and impact regardless of circumstances.
