KatalystEDU: Where Learning Meets Liberation.

Support Liberation through Education 

for Consultants Like Me

About Bri's Start as a Solopreneur 

In July 2024, I made the difficult and exciting decision to quit my full-time job and pursue a career as an independent fundraising consultant. 

As I struggled with fear, imposter syndrome, and guilt, I also realized that I had nowhere that I could go for education about how to be my own consultant. 

How was I supposed to find clients? 

How much should I charge those clients?

Those types of questions kept me up at night. 

However, I was lucky enough to have a close friend who was also pursuing her own consulting practice and was able to offer advice and guidance. 

During that time, I also met Kamilah Martin, the Founder and visionary of Katalyst and KatalystEDU. 

Kamilah provided me with actionable next steps to grow my consulting practice as well as introducing me to the Katalyst Mastermind Community, a safe space for Black women and women of color consultants building thriving businesses. 

Through my Katalyst membership, I have:

- Secured new client contracts and grown my consulting practice to a six-figure business in two years

- Partnered with fellow Katalystas on contracts

- Learned of aligned business development opportunities to continue positioning my business for growth

Today, I am excited to be in a place where I can support the Katalyst ecosystem's newest initiative, KatalystEDU.

If you're excited for this launch, interested in supporting consultants, and/or excited to support me, please consider making a contribution. 

Thank you so much! 

Warmly,

Bri
