About Proud Ancestors,
At Proud Ancestors, we believe that every brand has the power to honor the past, nurture the present, and shape the future. We build regenerative, sustainable brands that do more than exist in the marketplace — they thrive with purpose, impact communities, and make our ancestors proud.
Our approach is rooted in ancestral wisdom, cultural resonance, and environmental consciousness. We blend strategy, design, and storytelling to craft brands that are both beautiful and intentional — where every visual, word, and digital experience reflects deeper meaning. We don’t just create for today; we create for legacy.
We specialize in transforming ideas into holistic brand ecosystems: from brand identity and website design to content, digital experiences, and sustainable marketing strategies. Each service is designed to help businesses grow while staying true to values, uplifting communities, and honoring the Earth.
At the heart of Proud Ancestors is a commitment to regenerative impact — creating brands that not only succeed but contribute positively to the world around them. Our clients are visionaries, dreamers, and changemakers who want their work to reflect a deeper purpose. Together, we bring brands to life in a way that’s authentic, soulful, and enduring.
Because when your brand is built with intention, your impact lasts — and your ancestors would be proud.
The History of PREDATORY emotional marketing
Predatory emotional marketing often targets communities of color, exploiting fear and aspiration to drive consumption. At Proud Ancestors, we champion authentic, responsible marketing that uplifts communities. Our “Building Bridges: Engaging the Black Consumer” series (Jurnee James, 2022) showcases a short film exposing these tactics and sparking dialogue around ethical, conscious marketing.
What is Emotional Marketing …..

Growing up in a family full of creatives,
I witnessed firsthand the struggles that come with trying to capitalize on our artistic talents. Despite our passion and dedication, we found ourselves having to make a living doing things that didn't fulfill us, just to make ends meet. It was a tough reality that left us feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from our true selves.
My mission is to help other creatives avoid this fate. At my core, I believe that everyone deserves to live a life of purpose and passion, without having to sacrifice their creativity or authenticity. That's why I founded my business – to help creatives establish solid businesses that enable them to make money without selling their soul to Uncle Sam.
I understand the unique challenges that come with turning your passion into a business. It takes more than just talent and creativity – it takes a strategic approach and a deep understanding of the industry. That's where I come in. As an experienced entrepreneur and business consultant, I provide the guidance and support that creatives need to build successful and sustainable businesses.
At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to empower creatives to live their best lives by doing what they love. With my support and guidance, you can turn your passion into a profitable and fulfilling business, without sacrificing your values or creativity. Join me on this transformative journey, and let's build a world where creatives can thrive.
