e would like to take this time and introduce you to The Collective. Black in HR’s newest venture. The Collective serves as a space where professionals in and out of

Tell us about yourself. With over 22 years of managerial experience from working in retail at AT&T, to now holding a leadership position at Cox Automotive, the largest, most disruptive automotive company over the past 75 years, to distributing over $25,000 in grants through my nonprofit organization Nolij Foundation, I am passionate about empowering others to build generational wealth that lives beyond my own personal achievements. Influenced by the leadership qualities of historic icons like Dr. Martin Luther King, Myles Munroe, and Bryan Stevenson, I live by my one of my favorite quotes “incline my ears and decline my fears” as a reminder to listen more intentionally. My leadership practice stems from the methodology of transformational leadership where I strategically work with my team and youth to identify their own personal values to create positive change and enable the leader within.
