As a Product Manager turned Coach, Mentor, and Entrepreneur, I'm on a mission to help women unlock their full potential, both personally and professionally. My passion for empowerment runs deep, and I find great joy in helping women break free from societal stigmas, recognize their worth, and feel confident as they step into the most authentic versions of themselves.

My own journey to self-discovery was a rocky one. Like so many, I felt pressure to conform to society's expectations and struggled to balance fitting in with being true to myself. As a young mother, I climbed the corporate ladder while also providing solutions to everyday problems, but I never forgot the importance of self-love and the struggles that come with breaking molds without sacrificing confidence.

Over time, my reputation for helping others feel seen, heard and validated grew, and I found myself reigniting my passion for mentoring. Now, after 11 years of finding myself and discovering the power of guidance, I'm excited to help women develop healthy mindsets, find their voices, and create fulfilling and happy lives. Whether it's through workshops, courses, or speaking engagements, I'm passionate about inspiring women to just be and look within to discover their own path.

I firmly believe that everyone has the ability to break past the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual blocks that hold them back, and sometimes all it takes is having a person in your corner who values your happiness and well-being as much as you do. I offer adaptive workshops, courses, and trainings that help women unlock their full potential through the power of self-love, self-worth, and confidence. Whether you're a leader looking to build resilience in your team or an individual seeking to overcome limiting mindsets, and achieve your goals, I'm dedicated to helping you achieve your full potential both personally and professionally.

Vonkeith Richard was born in Crowley, Louisiana July 4th 93', raised in Lafayette and Baton Rouge Louisiana throughout his childhood. In third grade a guest speaker came to Wedgewood elementary school in East Baton Rouge Parish to speak about entrepreneurship. She asked us to draw out what do we want to be when we grow up. For some reason as an eight year old I drew a silhouette of my future self cutting hair in Atlanta, Ga. Six years later my mother moved my three siblings and I to Atlanta, Ga seeking better job opportunity. After beginning high school at South Gwinnett in 07' little did I know my barbering journey would began in 2 years. Homecoming of 09' I was a junior in high school lining all of my friends before the dance with a pair of cheap Wal Mart clippers. A friend of mine later told me he went to his original barber and she stated whoever lined you up knows what he's doing. That gave me the confidence I needed for my journey. Fast forward Thirteen years later, I've become one of the more successful licensed barbers in my industry. I've established my own hair studio, and product line (Top Tier Hair Club). I've landed sponsorship deals, created a grand social media presence educating others through multiple haircut videos. My journey was easy up to this point however I'm always striving for greatness. One phrase that has always kept me forward progressing; Ask, Believe, Receive.
