We’re not shy to say that we have the coolest, brightest, most creative interns any business could ask for. And WOW, are they photogenic! 

They fully owned the “2000’s Summer” photoshoot we set up for them. 📸 🏆 

With hoop earrings, letterman jackets, jerseys, fitted caps, and Air Force 1’s, they confidently stepped into the theme and we LOVE the results! 

We’re excited for the opportunity to further inspire the creative minds of young people and show them that work can be fun, too. 

Our interns are gaining new, transferable knowledge and skillsets for their professional and personal development. 
These are our future leaders and we can’t wait to see all the incredible ways they will impact their communities - and the world - for the better. 💛🩵❤️

Wow. Three years ago on 03/21/2022 we took Sky Nile Consulting full time. Marking a moment of seeds being planted without a true understanding of what would grow. 

On March 21, 2025 we planted even more seeds, cutting the ribbon on our first official location, a brick & mortar office that will serve as an additional community hub for creatives looking to learn, collaborate, and stretch themselves. 

This means a lot to us. Every single step of the way has been a cautious foot forward, hoping that things would be okay. Not anymore. We’re all in. 

We’re doing the work that we’re meant to be doing and we always will. These red bricks are proof and protection that we are guided by an inner truth that will always sustain us. This is in our DNA. We’re ready for this! 

To further that point, we would like to thank all of the people who helped make this special moment possible! 

Sean Walton - original co-founder and the one who makes dreams come true. 
Sabella NILE and SKYla Nice - the reason WHY
The Columbus Chamber and team! Thank you CEO Derrick Clay and our client specialist LJ Boggs. 
Councilmember Nick Bankston, our Small Business advocate and a true friend. 
Ashley Grayson & Allure Events 
GroundXGrind & Cherish - our vibe curator 
Hana, Magnus, Tiffany, Niyah - The hands on deck when the call went out! Thank you! 
Cassie and Shelbi - two amazing talented artists who showed up and showed out! THANK YOU! 
The entire Sky Nile Team & Collaborators (Jennipher, Frances, Glenn, Tonnisha, Jak, Nosa + Team) 
Our creative & strategic partners that build community with us (Ryan Jones, Artfluential & WarholWallSt, UnderReported, Event Marketing Strategies, Paraclete Planning, Civic Uplift, and 4th Street Strategies) 

Everyone that was in attendance both in person and in spirit, we thank you! We can’t do this work without you. Let’s keep creating MOVEMENTS!

I believe we are in the knowledge era. So much of what we see online is unfortunately, not reality. To me, that means we really have to remain steadfast on what makes us real, what makes us human. 

It looks like sharing knowledge, wisdom, and opportunities. I am so thank to 
the Aspire Women's Book of Business and The Women's Center for Economic Opportunity (WCEO) for both the honor of being featured (twice!) in the upcoming Book of Business, and for the opportunity to collaborate with my dear friend Habiba Bankston sharing our wisdom of navigating our careers while being wives and mothers. 

When I see the phrase "I bet on me" it's not a dream, it's my reality. Every single day (yes, daily) I wake up and know that I'm putting a deposit on the bets I've placed on myself and my dreams. I carry the pressure of what that means for my family and my community, and I try to push through, even when it's hard. 

Again, I am full of gratitude. 

Looking forward to having the book in my hands at the Aspire Big Book Launch on September 2nd!

Ambition and boundaries aren’t opposites. I recently sat down with @forbes and shared that the professionals actually thriving right now are proof of that statement! They are redefining success on their own terms, not lowering the bar like some would have you to believe. The link is in my bio. 

I am so thankful for this opportunity. It means so much to see my words in Forbes and knowing that my perspective comes from a place of lived experience across industries and sectors. When I decided to walk away from “stability” and chart my own path, I had no idea what the future held and that was one of the biggest lessons I had to learn by living. None of us do! But, we can recognize patterns and systems and use that recognition to both change said patterns and systems while learning to navigate them. 

In juggling multiple realities, having breadth AND some depth, I’ve learned a lot throughout my career. I’m thankful to the people who see me, and build with me. Let’s keep paying it forward!

Thank you @kwamenegotiates

This is a huge honor. Something about conquering fears? Yes I know a lot about that. 

Thank you to the WELD organization and the committee for their thoughtfulness. 

Grateful to share this honor with these incredible women around me. The timing and the theme could not have been more perfect. In ways few could truly understand.

We all carry something into the rooms we lead in.

The lessons you learn in your career and across life are what they are. The difference is whether you're carrying those lessons as luggage or baggage. 

Luggage you pack with intention. Baggage can weigh you down. 

This June, I'm super excited to bring  this conversation to life at the WELD | Otterbein 2026 National Leadership Conference! Thank you to the team at WELD (Deepa Kellar and Barbara Smoot, and the committee) for inviting me into this special room! 

I'd love for YOU, yes you, to be in that room with me, unpacking. 

My session Luggage, Not Baggage: Leading from Wholeness, is for the leaders who are working hard, but carrying baggage. Let's put it down together. 

In our conversation you'll walk away with a new understanding of the luggage you can keep, and the baggage you can drop. You'll also get permission (and a framework) to lead from a whole, unapologetic you. 

If you're not yet registered, now is a good time!!! 👇

"Storytelling" has become a hollow corporate buzzword. Most brands are just decorating the lobby while the foundation is cracked. 

At Sky Nile, we don’t just "tell stories." We build Narrative Architecture. 

WHY does that matter?
 
Because a story is a moment, but architecture is a movement. When you outgrow your narrative, through a merger, transition, or massive growth, a new tagline won’t fix the structural issues. You can't just put fresh paint on a house that isn't built to scale.

We find the story hiding under the spreadsheets and the data, and then we build the foundational structure that aligns your leadership and your market. We want to ensure your brand can support the weight of your ambition. 

Strategic decision-making becomes effortless when the architecture is solid. You stop reacting and start leading.

Is your story a load-bearing wall or just decoration? Let’s build something REAL.

Growth is supposed to be exciting, but  sometimes it can feel like you’re pulling a weight you can't see. 

If you’re a mid-market leader in that $10M–$500M sweet spot, you might be paying the 'Narrative Tax.' It’s the invisible tension that comes when your business has outgrown its story. You’ve evolved, but the way you describe your mission is stuck in the past.

You pay this tax every time your team struggles to explain what you actually do now. You pay it when a sales pitch falls flat because it doesn’t reflect the sophisticated system you’ve built. I'm not talking about your marketing plan, I'm talking about internal alignment and external trust.

At Sky Nile Consulting, we specialize in building a Narrative Architecture that matches your current impact. We help you find the story hiding under the data so you can invest in your next best thing.

Your story should be your greatest asset, not a heavy weight. When you have clarity, everything gets lighter and faster.

Is your current brand story reflecting the company you are today, or the one you were five years ago?

Founder tells you I started a thing. Chief Brand Officer tells you why I’m at the table. 

For a long time, I leaned into the Founder title. It felt safe and suitable, it felt *enough*. But as Sky Nile grew, I realized that Founder only describes the origin story but it doesn’t describe the WORK. 

I am a Chief Brand Officer because my heart and my expertise live in the strategy of branding and marketing leadership that actually moves campaigns forward. It’s about C-suite level decision-making without the (sometimes) suffocating, traditional confines. 

Choosing CBO was an act of intentionality. It was about owning my lane and showing up as the visionary and a builder that I am. 

I get to define my role on my own terms because you still get it, don't you?

For other Founders, how are you redefining your title to match your true impact? I’d love to hear how you’re taking up space.

We've been a little quiet here, we know! 

We’ve been  in the trenches, doing our heart's work for our incredible clients while still building  behind the scenes. When you’re busy capturing the moments that move people, sometimes the grid has to take a backseat. 

We are stepping into a new era. My team and I have been intentional about every seed we’ve planted these last few months, and we cannot wait to show you what’s blooming. 

Sky Nile is working hard, refreshing, and ready to help you outgrow your old story. We are ready to help organizations move beyond spreadsheets and powerpoint decks to really tap into what moves your most valuable asset, your people, to do their best work. We're ready to help you connect your products to the people who are searching for you, but can't see past their algorithms. 

We're taking brands and organizations old school in a new way. 

Let's go get 'em.

I've been seeing a lot of posts online about a "Personal Board of Directors" and folks sharing aspirational or inspirational figures that represent their inner BOD. 

I love that exercise! I also advocate for having an actual PBOD as you navigate life (I have a framework for that that I'll be sharing soon) and I'll add that through the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Business Program, I learned that even small businesses should have an advisory board to assist with strategic decision-making and support. 

Allow me to introduce you to *some* of Sky Nile Consulting's Advisory Board Members! This group has been instrumental in guiding some of the key strategic decisions coming out of Sky Nile in 2026. I am so thankful that I was both vulnerable and delusional enough to ask these very amazing people to join me in the work of building a business beyond my own wildest dreams. This group helps to get me out of my own head and deeper into the work! 

Each of them took a seat on The Storyteller's Couch, and we're so excited for what's to come. 

Full list of Advisory Board Members (*pictured): 
> Stefan Thomas, Esq* -Director, Thomas Ingram Law Group & Chief Listening Officer, SixK 
> Mary Hoffman* - CEO, faucethead 
> Chris Jones - CMO, Warhol & Wall St. 
> Mai Ngyuen* - Sr. Digital Analytics Specialist, The OSU Wexner Medical Center
> Dr. Laura Espy-Bell - Founder/President,  Made for Medicine 
> Crystal Files - VP, American Family Insurance 
> Lisa Rusch - Co-Owner, Brekkie Shack
> Brandi Martin* - CCO, Sequence Communications
> Carolyn Thurman - Founder/Principal, Civic Uplift
> Adam Tolliver - Financial Advisor/Partner, Artisan Financial Strategies 
> Chevonne Harris - CEO, ThriveIN 
> LC Johnson - CEO, Zora's House
> La Baker* - CEO, LBB Edutainment 
> Dr. Tiffany Polite* - Principal, FGM Consulting 
> Dr. Erica Womack* - Founder/CEO, Idlewood & Company 

Thank you for honoring the values of community and offering your time and talent into supporting me, and seeing Sky Nile grow and thrive!
