We’re building a community of purpose-driven leaders creating new blueprints for how we lead, live, and work.
Zamani Leaders is a learning and leadership studio that helps people and organizations turn lived experience into wisdom for sustainable change and purposeful transformation. We cultivate embodied leaders who are shaping the future of work, culture, and community.
A practice of remembering foward.
In Swahili, Zamani means more than “the past.” It speaks to the living continuum of time— the realm where memory, legacy, and spirit endure.
To lead with Zamani consciousness is to act knowing that our choices ripple into the collective, shaping the world that future generations will inherit.
Zamani Leaders exist in the space between what has been and what can be.
The Zamani Fellowship
A reflective leadership journey for Black & Indigenous women entrepreneurs reimagining how we lead, live, and work.
Designed for founders and leaders building purpose-driven ventures, this experience blends reflection, healing, and strategy to support leadership that is aligned, embodied, and sustainable.
Through guided writing, somatic practice, and coaching, fellows explore their lived experiences as data for transformation, turning insight into new blueprints for regenerative leadership and culture.
Fellows will emerge with:
A personal leadership framework grounded in lived experience that they can use to guide decisions, lead teams, and model a culture of well-being.
Renewed connection and practice for sustaining purpose and well-being through healing circles that cultivate rest, resilience, and emotional clarity.
Strategic alignment between values and ventures, supported by coaching that integrates purpose, business sustainability, and personal well-being.
A publication to the Zamani Living Archive, a curated collection of leadership essays and reflections that positions their voice in the future of leadership and social impact.
The first cohort will help shape the fellowship itself, building the foundation for a community of leaders redefining what it means to grow in alignment with self, others, and the world we’re shaping next.

The Self as Source: Writing, Healing, and Leading through Change
A reflective writing experience for leaders navigating change, purpose, and renewal.
This 90-minute workshop introduces the practice of using lived experience as data for healing, sustainable leadership, and transformation. Through writing and somatic reflection, you’ll learn to reclaim yourself as a source of clarity, connection, and purpose.
We believe embodied leadership renews what it touches. When leaders move with awareness and alignment, they don’t just change organizations— they cultivate new ways of caring, creating, and leading that sustain us all.
A Note from Christa, Founder
Zamani Leaders is more than a project. It’s my living inquiry and community of practice.
It was born from a question I couldn’t ignore:
What if leadership and entrepreneurship could be pathways to healing, not just success? What if the way we lead, build, and create could repair what work has broken in us— as individuals and as a society?
After a decade guiding transformation across organizations, startups, and leadership programs, I’ve learned that the deeper work begins when leaders turn inward, listen to their bodies, and realign with purpose.
Zamani is the space where that work happens. A place for leaders who see leadership as both a personal practice and collective responsibility.
It’s where we explore how to lead, build, and grow through reflection, embodiment, and care. Where we turn our lived experience into wisdom that serves both people and systems.
This work is still unfolding, and I’m inviting you to build it with me: a community where purpose, well-being, and impact can finally coexist.
Whether as a fellow, collaborator, or supporter, if this mission resonates with you, I’d love for you to join me.
