  • Doing the Work of Belonging

    Doing the Work of Belonging
    2025/06/19
    Performative diversity & inclusion initiatives were never about progress.
    They were considered as performative for a reason—because it looks like change without being change.
    That’s the conversation I’m having in one of my most viewed episodes of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita—and it's a message that matters now more than ever.
    In this episode, I break down:
    -Why social statements without internal action erode trust
    -How failure to lean into inclusive influence ultimately limits impact
    -What real accountability looks like when it’s cascaded from the top throughout the organization
    If we want real representation and retention, we must move beyond checking boxes and start changing cultures.
    Watch now, and if it speaks to you, please share it ➡️ because we all have a role to play in getting this right.

  • Global Interest in DEI Post-2020

    Global Interest in DEI Post-2020
    2025/06/12
    This week, we feature one of the most-watched episodes of Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita—and for good reason.

    In the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in 2020, companies around the world made bold public promises to create more inclusive workplaces. Many invested in new roles, employee resource groups, and training efforts aimed at fostering equity and belonging.

    But here’s the truth: real inclusion is not a one-time initiative. It’s a continuous journey—one that demands transparency, accountability, and a genuine commitment to cultivating environments where everyone feels like they truly belong.

    In this episode, I unpack how that global moment reshaped the workplace—and what it takes to keep the momentum alive.

    2025/05/29
    This month, I celebrate a milestone birthday. As I enter a new decade, I’m reimagining what success means — not just for my business, but for myself. This episode is about embracing what’s next with vision, confidence, and a deep sense of calling. The pivot isn’t just personal — it’s strategic.

    As I look ahead, I’m clear about where I need to focus. For the next two months, I’ll be working behind the scenes to strengthen the business and chart new territory. Please return for my final chat from this special series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite with my amazing and insightful guest host, Kelli Kirkland, as we leave you with what I hope you’ll find to be some nuggets of wisdom that every leader, at every level of leadership, can relate to, reflect on, and repurpose for exponential growth.

    Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita What I’ve Learned as a Businesswoman
    2025/05/22
    We don’t talk enough about how deeply personal the leadership journey really is. This episode brings together moments of growth — not just as a professional, but as a person. From health challenges to healing, from striving to surrendering, this is where my inner work met my outer work.

    This phase of my life has reinforced that success isn’t just measured by revenue or recognition. It’s also measured by resilience, relationships, and readiness to evolve.

    As poet Maya Angelou once said, "I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." I carry that wisdom with me every day — personally and professionally. Join me and my guest host, Kelli Kirkland, as we unpack what this means for me in this insightful episode of Real Conversations from the C-Suite.

    Over the last seven years, I’ve learned that building a business is equal parts courage and clarity. This episode revisits the very real lessons I’ve learned — from owning my voice to owning my value — especially as a woman of color navigating corporate ecosystems as a solopreneur and advisor to executive leaders.

    Join me for another Real Conversation from the C-Suite hosted by my dear friend, Ms. Kelli Kirkland as we explore how DEI continues to evolve in today’s business landscape, how I remain committed to the deeper, strategic work of culture, complexity, and change, and how this moment is shaping the mission that still guides me.

    Keeping It Real with Dr. Anita Professional & Personal Milestones
    2025/05/08
    This past February marked the 7th anniversary of Dr. Anita Enterprises, Inc. — seven years of standing in the gap between where organizations are and where they aspire to be, especially as they navigate today’s complex and evolving landscape. And this month, I’m celebrating another milestone: stepping confidently into a new decade of life.

    But in the spirit of keeping it real, I would be remiss if I didn’t also acknowledge that this season — both professionally and personally — has brought its share of challenges.

    So this month on Real Conversations from the C-Suite, we’re doing something a little different. I’ll be sharing more about what’s happening in my business, what’s unfolding in my life, and the lessons I’m learning as I navigate this next chapter.

    Joining me as guest host for this special reflective series is someone who needs no introduction to our community — the incomparable Ms. Kelli Kirkland!

    I invite you to tune in for a more introspective edition of Real Conversations from the C-Suite, where the roles are reversed — and this time, I’m the one in the guest chair.

  • Celebrating Milestones Reflection, Resilience, and Renewal

    Celebrating Milestones Reflection, Resilience, and Renewal
    2025/05/01
    Welcome to the month of May, and a special series of revelatory, Real Conversations from the C-Suite with Dr. Anita! Navigating the pivot into a New Decade of life, and the next phase of leadership as an entrepreneur, I’m embracing two things: Intention and innovation.

    For my business, that means deepening my focus: working with organizations serious about cultivating elite teams — culturally competent, high-performing, human-centered teams. For myself, it means continuing to grow — but also allowing space for rest, reflection, and recalibration.

    The truth is that longevity — in business and in life — requires pivoting without losing your purpose. And that’s exactly what I plan to do. Join me during this special series of Real Conversations from the C-Suite as the tables are turned and I, Dr. Anita, become the featured guest!
