We build power

in the margins.

At CONSCIOUSXCHANGE, we know what it means to be the first, the only, the other. As people of color, women and folks of marginalized identities, we have always been underestimated, overlooked, and expected to fall in line.

But we believe that power can be born in these very margins… where we’ve had to build from scratch, speak louder to be heard, and create community when none existed.

This is where we rise.

We uplift the firsts, the onlies, and the others like you!

How to Build Power to Make an Impact

Our mission is to help BIPOC and women build power to make an impact in their families, communities, and society by building up their 5 currencies of power.

The 5 Currencies of Power

Power isn’t just in the profits. With our 5 Currencies of Power, we help you build solid, lasting power.

Visibility

We make sure people see you and know what you do. Your brand gets the spotlight it should have.

Authority

We position you as the expert you already are, so people respect your voice and your value.

Access

We guide you to build strategic relationships and get into the right rooms with the right people.

Influence

We teach you how to move people with your message, so you’re present, prominent, and efficient.

Income

We show you how to monetize your expertise and get paid what you’re worth consistently to support your goals and your community.

When you build up all five currencies of power, you stop chasing opportunities and start creating them at scale for yourself and your business. This is how we help entrepreneurs win, own their space, and build a lasting legacy.

We work to shift the balance of power to…

BIPOC leaders and service providers aiming to grow their revenue while living true to their values, culture, and identities.

Women business owners who are tired of translating advice meant for men

Coaches, consultants, and creatives of color ready to scale with strategy and action

DEI professionals, employee advocates, and social justice educators building impactful businesses

Changemakers who are ready to be seen, be paid, and make a difference

We work with entrepreneurs who are bold enough to work for success, brave enough to bet on themselves, and brilliant enough to lead movements.

If you’re ready to be the go-to expert in your space and form a business that reflects your passion, you’re in the right place.

How We Work

We do business with intention, not just ambition. When all these are aligned, growth stops feeling like a grind and starts flowing with ease.

Business

We get clear on your offer, pricing, and systems so your business can run and scale minus the trial-and-error. We give you effective strategies first and great results always.

Brand

We help you grow a personal brand that turns heads and opens doors, especially on LinkedIn. People should know you, remember you, and associate you with the services you provide.

Bonds (Bayanihan)

The CONSCIOUSXCHANGE Team

Our team is made up of big-hearted business experts, each of us committed to walking our talk and showing up fully for the clients we serve. We’ve helped founders create brands that shift culture while stacking revenue. We can do the same for you.

We work with people who are ready to lead boldly and build equity at scale. If that sounds like you, we’d love to (e)xchange power, purpose, and possibility together.

What Our Clients Say

I recommend working with Carissa 300% . What I loved most about our coaching relationship is that it's results oriented. Her coaching really changed so many parts of my life, and she was committed to checking in and making sure I felt good about those changes. That's genuine care.

Jenn

I’ve learned that sharing my story, being authentic to myself and what I believe in value is actually the best way to build a network for my business. I'm attracting the right people who want this, need this, have struggled like I have and people that also want to support this kind of work.

Our Power Isn’t Given, It’s Claimed.

We believe that building your own business isn’t simply about making money. You’re here to reclaim your time, your energy, your voice, your purpose, and your future.

When BIPOC entrepreneurs and vetted allies create their own systems of success, we are launching brands that can dismantle and replace oppressive ones.

Entrepreneurship is how we build power. Leadership is how we pass it on.

We’re here to assist you in doing both. We’ve got the tools, strategies, and a whole community to stand behind you.

Are you ready to build together?
