Building a business is a noble endeavor, but if you're a person of color, you need to think long term about building a business that will support your family financially for generations to come. Not just for your kids, but for your kids' kids! How?
- Create a strong legal foundation,
- Use contracts that protect your legal interests, and
- Hire a team to help you grow!
And then, use your business to invest in yourself, your kids, and future generations.
You're in the right place to do just that! Welcome to TRANSCEND!
How would your life be different if you could build, grow, and sustain a business that amassed enough assets to actually create community change and generational wealth?
TRANSCEND is the community that will help you build a strong and sustainable business that is poised to leave a financial legacy.
Not only will you learn how to grow your business and build wealth, but you will also learn how to use your business as it stands right now to make a social and economic impact in your own community.
Imagine not worrying about medical insurance, healthy food, or the cost of education. Imagine taking trips around the world with your loved ones and the security you will feel knowing that you've provided your children and community with a strong economic basis to start from.
That's what we do inside TRANSCEND. We build businesses that change communities and leave financial legacies.
HELLO!
Meet your Attorney & Coach
Asha Wilkerson, Esq.!
When I began practicing law 11 years ago, I knew I wanted to help people build foundations of protection. I'm a California licensed attorney and a full-time college educator. I have run my own law firm, focusing on business and employment law, for the past 10 years. In that time, I have helped countless California businesses go from idea to operation by creating corporations, limited liability companies, and non-profit organizations.
I firmly believe more than just legal structure is needed to get started and to stay in business. I’ve encountered many business coaches who miss the mark in discussing the legal side of things. So, I decided to bridge my legal skill, passion for teaching, and my experience as an entrepreneur to create a membership focused on supporting black and brown entrepreneurs through starting, growing, and sustaining a business.
I truly think there are few things more empowering than becoming an entrepreneur! Afterall, it is an opportunity to change the world.
TRANSCEND is everything you need to build a business and leave a legacy.
Whatever your vision is for the future, we give you the training and tools to bring it to fruition:
- Trainings to create a solid business entity, either an LLC or a corporation,
- Workshops on accounting set up, organization, and tax strategy,
- On-demand videos covering contract essentials,
- Expert guidance from upwards of 15 industry experts in the areas of Intellectual property protection, employment law, copywriting, sales, and systems and organization, and
- Office hours with Asha, a licensed California attorney.
PLUS, you get access to my 3 signature workshops!
From Me to LLC
Walks California business owners through the process of forming their own limited liability companies.
Contracted!
Teaches business owners how to protect themselves before signing on the dotted line
Before You Hire!
Explains the differences between independent contractors and employees and guides business owners through the hiring process.
So, what’s the commitment?
We meet on the first, second, and third Thursdays of the month from 12-1:30 pm PST. The first two Thursdays of the month are for trainings and workshops, the third Thursday is for office hours.
TRANSCEND is not your average membership.
You can eliminate the guess work in forming your own business, and receive expert guidance and community support along the way.
These are the foundational tools you need to put your legacy building into motion and you have access to all of them inside TRANSCEND.
What the Community Is Saying
Looking for a community of women of color entrepreneurs ready to build generational wealth and leave a legacy for your loved ones? TRANSCEND is for you.
Asha is an amazing leader - she is attentive and focused on the business success of her clients. If there is a question she doesn't have an answer to, she will seek the answer out for you AND give you a couple referrals to back it up with. That's how thorough she is and how strongly she feels about her clients.
So if you have been struggling with making the financial decision to join TRANSCEND, I say go for it. The value you will receive will far exceed your investment.

Certified Public Accountant
The LLC course was great, very digestible steps.
TRANSCEND is a way to find community. To understand these things I get tripped up about. This program and your online courses are super easy to navigate.
You are a black woman and a lawyer in Oakland, serving BIPOC communities. Who doesn’t want to be a part of this?
Annalyn C.
Life + Career Coach
I appreciate the access to you and to other resources...attorneys, copywriting coaches. I was able to clear paths that were blocked in just an hour.
The accountability each week that we do meet has been so impactful to my business and on my confidence. The more I learn the more brave I feel about attacking something that was scary just 6 months ago.

TRANSCEND
Starting a business is a challenge, and starting a business as a black or brown entrepreneur is even more difficult.
Historically, we have been prevented from receiving bank loans, kept out of living in certain neighborhoods, relegated to the lowest forms of work, and still face institutional racism at alarming rates.
Starting your business is your ticket to freedom.
- Financial freedom
- Time freedom, and
- Liberation.
But, you need more than just a dream, you need support and TRANSCEND is here to give it to you. Together we will address the legal and business topics you need to know to be successful and fill you with love and support from a community of entrepreneurs who are headed in the same direction.
Entrepreneurship itself is filled with ups and downs, just like a roller-coaster, just like life. But also, just like in life, challenges are much easier to surmount if you face them with a community of people who have your best interest at heart.
