What We Do
We are a three part business:
The A2H Movement:
Infiltrating society with The Elements A2H! The Aspire2Higher Movement is empowering people to take charge of their careers & create their own success! We have an educational & leadership development program (Community Scholars) training students to Embody The Elements of Success and more!
Community PROGRAMMING:
We are launching the A2H Youth Empowerment Program & the A2H Young Professionals Network. We host the Hip Hop IS Higher Ed podcast and Raleigh’s Hip Hop IS Higher Ed Symposium
Training & Consulting:
Based on The Ready to D.I.E. Leadership Rubric we provide trainings & consult organizations to assess individual & organizational readiness for diversity, inclusion & equity capacity building (D.I.E.). We specialize in equipping people to Embody The Elements A2H
THE PROBLEM:
A FALSE NARRATIVE about education & work.
People have placed too much hope in the educational system (k-16) and our public education systems and higher education do not deliver on its promise of “The American Dream”. Additionally, that “American dream” didn’t include the needs & experiences of BIPOC. People are exiting those systems still largely unprepared for building the lives they have imagined. As a result, we have huge disparities in the global workforce and people (young & seasoned) get stuck in careers/jobs without a plan for economic shifts and environmental factors (like a pandemic). The diverse & intersectional identities of the people this is affecting also magnifies the diversity, inclusion & equity issues in organizations, in the workforce and in talent pipelines. Aspire2HIgher’s unique approach to personal & professional development (and diversity training) can help!

What Clients & Partners are Saying
“Excellent Teacher”
Stephanie is an excellent teacher. I took two of her Social Media for Business courses and and learned so much because she was really good at explaining the concepts as well as demonstrating how to apply them to my business.

“Delivers an “on time” message EVERY TIME”
I asked Stephanie to come speak to my professional association about leadership development for administrative professionals. Stephanie’s message of The Elements of Success was right on target! We are very happy with the value that she added and I would recommend Stephanie to speak to your organization or professional society.
