Legally set up your business and map out your wealth-building plan in 6 months so you can achieve the financial freedom you deserve.
Build your business. Leave a legacy. Finally achieve the financial freedom you deserve.
Welcome to Transcend
The only membership and community for black and Latinx entrepreneurs that focuses on teaching you how to start your business and stay in business for years to come.
Create a customized roadmap to ensure your business leaves the financial legacy you've dreamed of in 3 easy phases.
Phase 1 – CREATE
This is the foundational stage where we’re focused on setting up your entity properly – from business formation, getting your business contracts correct, and lining up the processes in your business so you can then focus on taking things to the next level
Phase 2 – GROW
In phase 2, you begin interacting with the world and growing your business. From expanding your audience, building your team and leveraging your expertise by turning your service into a digital product, the focus here is to push the limits of what you thought was possible for you and your business.
Phase 3 – TRANSCEND
If you want to leave a legacy, you first need to build that legacy. Forming your business is a big part of this – but so is leaning into leveraging that business to secure your future. From getting your retirement set up, planning your estate, and looking at exit strategies, in this phase you’ll learn everything you need to know about making your business work for you now and in the future.
You've been making money for a few months now and you're not sure what the next "level up" step should be. Do you hire an employee, save for retirement, or keep doing the same old thing?
You're probably spending hours of your day searching Google for answers, downloading freebies and consuming all of the tips and tricks…
…only to end up procrastinating on taking any real action to get going?
Yep, completely normal.
Here’s the thing though:
Using your business to secure your financial future (think play money, retirement money, and generational wealth money) requires action. The right kind of action.
Instead of spinning your wheels and being focused on things that won’t actually move the needle (like figuring out how to make a reel go viral on Instagram), what you need to put time into is getting your business set up correctly and making a plan for financial growth.
Your dream of financial freedom. Time freedom. The freedom to create whatever future for yourself that you desire is attainable.
Your dream of leaving a legacy. Of changing things for your family. Of impacting your community.
That dream starts with getting your business set up the right way.
And turning that dream into a reality starts now.
Historically, Black folks 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.
And as a result of this lack of access to capital, knowledge and support? Black entrepreneurs tend to make decisions in the starting stages of their businesses that are likely to keep their businesses small. Nearly 13% of Latino-owned firms close in their first year, compared with 10% for White-owned firms.
Refusing to play small any longer in your business is your ticket to freedom.
Financial freedom. Time freedom. Liberation.
But the reality is you need more than just a dream to make your goal of owning your own strong, sustainable, profitable business happen…
Together we will address all of the aspects around creating, growing and transcending your business, and you’ll be supported by a community of like-minded 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, the challenges are much easier to surmount if you face them with a community of people who have your back and your best interests at heart.
For over a decade, I’ve helped countless Californian businesses go from idea to operation by creating corporations, limited liability companies, and non-profit organizations.
After forming an LLC for one of my clients, he asked me how he could “keep all his money like the rich folks do”. That question stopped me in my tracks and made me think.
I realized that it wasn't enough for me to form businesses for my clients – I wanted to teach them how to use their businesses to receive maximum reward.
The thing is – there are too many business owners who can't retire, don't think to sell, and who have no idea they can set up a retirement plan. They end up working so hard to run the business, but have no idea how to make the business work for them.
I firmly believe that you need more than just legal structure to get started and to stay in business…but most business coaches miss the mark when it comes to the legal side of things.
So, I decided to bridge my legal skills, passion for teaching, and my experience as an entrepreneur to create a membership focused on supporting black and Latinx entrepreneurs through starting, growing, and sustaining a business.
Which is where Transcend comes in!

In Transcend, we have one big mission:
To help black and Latinx entrepreneurs create easy-to-follow roadmaps for using your business to build wealth.
…because guess what? There’s STILL work to be done.
In Transcend, we teach people how to start their business and stay in business for years to come. We get them set up for financial freedom and wealth building by helping them form their businesses in a way that is going to deliver maximum reward and truly work for them.
Because the reality is this: 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!
That’s why we focus on helping you create a business that’s going to last. One that’s set up to grow and deliver results beyond the revenue you generate.

The total value of Transcend? Over $10,000
…and you can get started today for just $250.
Transcend isn’t for everyone – and that’s ok. Here’s how you can tell if it’s for YOU
✓ You are a black or Latinx service-based entrepreneur.
✓ You already have a start in business. You can be a side-hustler or a new full-time hustler – but the point is, you've started already.
✓ You’re the sole owner of your business.
✓ You are eager to learn and understand the legal and financial aspects of starting and growing a business.
✓ You’re ready to eliminate confusion over the legal stuff.
✓ You’re prepared to build wealth and a sustainable business.
✓ You need the help of an attorney, business coach, and a team of experts in things like marketing, branding, mindset and sales support who are all focused on helping you build a successful, profitable business.
✓ You want to be part of a community of like-minded business owners so you can have a supportive network around you.
✓ You are open and supportive towards the LGBTQIA+ community and you realize that if any of us are to be free, we must all be free.
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.
Maybe your big goal is to own a million dollar business, or be able to work 2 days a week and raise your kids on the other days. Maybe you want to start a nonprofit organization to support your community. Maybe you want to work abroad or travel regularly. Maybe you want to retire your parents, or simply take a damn vacation without feeling guilty about it for once.
Whatever your version of freedom is, it starts by building your business in a way that will allow you to grow it, scale it and leverage it to its fullest potential – and help you build wealth along the way.
TRANSCEND is for black, indigenous, entrepreneurs of color who are looking to take their existing business to the next level. We are also a safe space for queer, non-binary, and gender-fluid people of color.
In order to build the business of your dreams, you need access to legal education, business advice, financial guidance, and mindset support. TRANSCEND gives you all of this and more.
Yes! TRANSCEND welcomes all stages of business owners and entrepreneurs. If you want to build or grow a business and create a legacy then this is for you.
The tools and resources you will gain from TRANSCEND will help you build your business and leave a legacy.
We meet the first three Thursdays of the month from 12-1:30 pm California time. If you miss the calls you can watch the replay. Outside of that, you can invest as much or as little time as you want. However, you will only get out of this as much as you put into it.
We do not offer refunds because we offer over $10,000 in value as soon as you sign up. There is, however, no obligation to renew your membership after the 12-month period.
You’ll be taken to a confirmation page. You can then expect to receive your invoice and welcome email. The welcome email will have your membership platform login details as well as information on how to join the live Zoom sessions.
We can build generational wealth and leave a legacy behind us for our children, our grandchildren and beyond.
And honestly? I’m tired of seeing people who look like you and me – who are talented, smart, and incredibly gifted – not getting the same opportunities as others in society.
I'm tired of seeing the suffering. I'm tired of every generation having to start over financially.
And I'm tired of seeing the wealth and education gap increase.
Money is the great equalizer.
And if more folks have the support to create wealth and create an asset that they can leverage to build their legacy, then we can begin to tackle some of the other issues creating disparity between the haves and have-nots in America.
It’s time.
Let’s get to work.
I’m ready
