Another venture; Sisters United in Care, Inc is a 501C3 organization that focuses on empowering individuals by addressing social challenges, fostering personal growth, and creating opportunities for positive change.
In addition, Notoya partnered with her son Justin on Tism Apparel. Diagnosed with autism, Justin faced challenges that many would find daunting, but he turned those challenges into opportunities for growth and self-expression. The business serves as a platform for Justin to showcase his artistic talents while also promoting inclusivity and understanding.
As a young girl with dreams that reached beyond societal expectations, Notoya navigated the challenges of race and gender, recognizing the potential for change in the realm of corporate dynamics. The turning point in her journey came during her academic pursuits, where she discovered a passion for social justice and its intersection with business environments. This realization fueled her determination to pursue a PhD in Business: Strategy and Innovation and writing a dissertation on the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility and employee engagement, a subject that resonated deeply with her own experiences as an African American woman striving for recognition and inclusivity in the workplace and beyond.
As a business coach, she brings a unique blend of education, professional experience, and personal qualities that positions me as a valuable partner in driving individual and organizational success. Her qualifications are grounded in a commitment to continuous learning, a proven track record of leadership in business, and a passion for empowering others to reach their full potential. Notoya's Payroll, HR, and Project Management certifications as well as training in coaching methodologies afforded her the ability to hone her skills in effective communication, active listening, and the art of asking powerful questions. This education has equipped Notoya with a solid foundation in understanding the intricacies of human behavior, leadership dynamics, and organizational development.
