About Michelle
Michelle's career path manifested on April 12, 2018, when she was one of the women responsible for the viral video of two Black men arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks for not buying coffee. It was a one of the biggest stories that traveled internationally to wake up the public conversation about race.
Out of frustration from that incident and seeing masses of people start to look at race relations differently, Michelle co-founded From Privilege to Progress in 2018 - a movement to desegregate the public conversation about race and amplify Black voices. Through the organization she has been featured on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett-Smith, The Today Show, Matter of Fact w/ Soledad O'Brian, NBC, Cheddar TV, Forbes, HuffPost, and several other media outlets.
Michelle's background gives her a unique perspective and approach to her activism and coaching. A first generation Ghanaian American raised in a lily white town in central PA, who spent most of her life from school to corporate America in almost all white spaces, Michelle was pushed to learn cultural competency, how to connect with others and still go against the grain to create her version of success and happiness.
Michelle lives bi-coastally between the U.S. and Ghana, continues to speak and coach internationally, and is creating new projects.
