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.

1. Visibility

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

2. Authority

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

3.Access

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

4. Influence

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

5. 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.

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?
