It’s time to stop settling and start creating the life you really want.
You’ve checked all the boxes, earned all the degrees and climbed the corporate, government or nonprofit ladder…but deep down, something is missing.
You know you’re meant for MORE, but you’re not sure where to start.
You have big dreams, powerful goals and a vision for your life that won’t let you rest.
But right now, you might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to turn those dreams into reality.
Chances are, you’re a high-achieving, professional Black woman who’s tired of building someone else’s empire, stuck in a career that no longer fulfills you, and ready to break free from the 9-to-5 grind.
You’re ready for change and now, you just need the right support to help you make it happen.
And that’s where I come in.

MEET ROSETTA
In 2010, I created Happy Black Woman® as a personal blog to document my journey to transform my life.
As I began to write about my experiences pursuing my big goals – from going natural to quitting my job, to publishing a book to starting a business to traveling the world solo, I met other Black women who were on the same path.
Along the way, I discovered that there were thousands of Black women just like me who wanted MORE out of their lives. Within just a few years, the blog became much more than a website. It grew into a tribe of like-minded Black women around the world!
Today, Happy Black Woman® is a personal development company that has been featured in Essence, SUCCESS Magazine, Blavity, Shondaland, Dr. Oz’ Good Life Magazine, Voice of America, Leading Ladies Africa and more.
Most importantly, our programs have empowered thousands of Black women all over the world to create the lives they really want.
Together, we are manifesting a new reality of what’s possible for Black women to be, do and have. Ultimately, we are leading by example so we can show other women that they can do it, too!
Happy Black Woman® is more than a brand. It’s a movement. It’s a lifestyle. It’s a sisterhood. And yes, you can come sit with us!
