Our Founder
-Desi Okeke, Founder
My mission is to create and nurture possibilities that give everyone a fair chance to be their best.
As a purpose-driven marketing executive with 20+ years of global leadership experience, an MBA from Cornell, and certification in Purposeful Leadership from Harvard, I bring a storytelling-based, emotionally intelligent approach to every space I enter.
From mentoring Fortune 500 teams to teaching at universities like Northwestern and Montclair State, my work is rooted in clarity, creativity, and impact.
My journey began at age 12 in my mother’s classroom—and today, as a certified Outschool instructor and proud parent of four, I continue to empower youth with tools for identity, purpose, and resilience.
Whether I’m leading strategy or guiding students, my mission is the same: to educate, inspire, and ignite growth.
