About DEAR QUEENS
DEAR QUEENS was founded in 2015 to build community for beginning Christian women of color. Since its founding, DEAR QUEENS has undergone many iterations—transforming from an empowerment blog to a brand that encourages, promotes, and facilitates self-discovery, self-love, and spiritual practicality.
Over the years we’ve launched podcasts, spoken at conferences and events, organized various philanthropic initiatives and launched a life coaching practice. Though things are changing, the focus remains the same: help women become their best selves.
DEAR QUEENS is a safe space for women becoming.
About Zoe
FIRST THING’S FIRST: THE E IS SILENT.
Writer, speaker, and certified life coach, Zoe’s passion lies in helping women navigate their faith walk and become their best selves. She believes at the core of sound decision making is self-love, and that self-love originates at the intersection of God’s love and the discovery of one’s spiritual identity.
In her full-time work, Zoe helps accelerate undergraduate and graduate student entrepreneurial ventures and provide opportunities for leadership development through programming, mentorship, and 1:1 coaching. When she’s not doing this she’s creating content and offering counsel that propels women toward personal and spiritual wellness.
She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, a two-time Black Weblog award winner, former freelance writer for xoNecole and Thrive Global — penning pieces about black womanhood, spiritual development, and emotional wellness — and a seasoned grant reviewer.
Zoe prides herself on living authentically, loving wholeheartedly, and serving passionately.
Despite her workload, Zoe makes it a point to find time for self-care and relaxation. In doing so, she’s usually cooking, filling her wine glass to the brim, and tweeting about reality TV.
Zoe is currently writing her first book.
