A year ago this week, after years of serving clients as a facilitator, strategic coach and thought partner, I decided to conquer the “building a business” checklist that had been intimidating me for years, and make Liberated Development (LD) an official company.
Why "Liberated"?
The journey was prescribed -- the goal and the path to get there were predetermined by societal norms and the white dominant culture that drives us all. To become a “good Christian” according to the broader society, you do X.
Why "Development"?
There isn’t a time I can remember when I wasn’t seeking to develop myself and support the development of others. As a child growing up in a deeply religious environment, I was aspiring to develop into a “good Christian,” while also teaching bible classes.
