Kyleen shares, “I am passionate about the career progression and development of black professionals in the US and Europe. As black professionals in corporate America work through a history of microaggressions and microinvalidations in the workplace, it is my goal to bring awareness, empower them, advocate for them, give them exposure, and provide opportunities for them to bring their voices to the table.”

“Most of all, I am passionate about being the mother of Robert Jr. and Janae Danielle. They are my pride and joy and part of our family’s legacy of entrepreneurship, creativity, teaching, and healing.” 

Kyleen has assisted over 120 organizations throughout the US in receiving their 501c3 status as a Nonprofit Consultant at “Nonprofit Visions, LLC .

“In my role as a nonprofit consultant, I am passionate about assisting nonprofit organizations in birthing the vision God has given them to serve at-risk communities. I am privileged to connect with visionaries around the country to not only assist in securing their 501c3 status, but to consult with them about the start-up of their organization. I help them understand the nonprofit structure and importance of proper governance. I also assist them in building outcome-driven program plans to help them attract supporters and funders. I work with organizations throughout the US and they find me through word of mouth referrals.”

Kyleen has instructed the QT Business Solutions, 6-week “Nonprofit Capacity Building” course for the past five years. 

“As an instructor with QT Business Solutions, I teach a 6-week capacity building course on Tuesday nights from 6-9 p.m. at least three times a year. Topics include everything from board governance, program planning, grant writing, to fund development plans. Executive directors, board members, and volunteers from nonprofit organizations participate in this course.

“In my role as a Global Leader for the BPN, I am passionate about the career progression and development of black professionals in the US and Europe for my firm. Defining our ERG’s vision and strategy; then driving the strategy is what excites me about this role. As black professionals in corporate America work through a history of microaggressions and microinvalidations in the workplace, it is my goal to bring awareness, empower them, advocate for them, give them exposure, and provide opportunities for them to bring their voices to the table.”
