Blue’s entrepreneurial ‘Journey’ started two weeks after graduating from The University of Georgia, when she launched Bené, a scarf company inspired by a study abroad trip to Ghana, committed to sponsoring tuition, books, supplies and uniforms for the girls to continue their education. Through this work, the business was named Mashable’s Top Black Owned Businesses Changing the World, Featured in Essence, Black Enterprise, secured a commercial feature with Pantene and WalMart’s “Stronger Together” Campaign and shared a TedTalk ‘Breaking Free From the Plan and Letting Your Vision Guide You’.
Her entrepreneurial work led her to support other entrepreneurial dreamers through her talk show and community The Journey with Blue, where she leads conversations and coaches on the transformative principles needed to become the person your purpose requires to create the life and business of your dreams.
As a trained psychoanalytical coach, Blue helps entrepreneurial dreamers get out their head and get into action through her signature coaching program, Take the Leap with Blue, to help them gain the clarity, strategy and confidence to create the impact and income that they are proud of.
To support the academic space, Blue leads an educational consulting company through Next YE Development that supports organizations, such as the New York City Department of Education, in developing curriculums and workshops to aid students, teachers and parents in the areas of Social and Emotional Learning, Entrepreneurship, Personal & Professional Development and Financial Literacy to aid in their holistic development and fully explore their purpose in and beyond the classroom.
"I believe the lessons and failures along the ‘Journey’ are there to teach you and unveil your power." - BLUE
