Reclaim Power. Reimagine Leadership.
Leadership development for visionary women of color in social impact.
About RARE Leaders
Lead with clarity. Grow on purpose. Rise in community.
RARE Leaders is a thoughtfully curated coaching and leadership development initiative powered by MRL Strategies that is designed for mission-driven women of color advancing social impact, including nonprofit, philanthropy, corporate and social responsibility (CSR), social enterprise, and public sector.
It’s a collective of changemakers dedicated to co-leading with intention, integrity, and imagination for better communities and futures. That means building shared prosperity and power. Leadership doesn’t have to involve burnout, bureaucracy, or business as usual.
It can be different. Revolutionary. RARE.
The RARE Principles
I. Radical Vision
II. Authentic Engagement

IV. Executive Presence
The RARE Leadership Framework is designed to challenge the status quo and outdated standards which uphold it. Our model centers principles to focus on what really makes leadership from the margins powerful: agency, dignity, efficacy, and sustainability.

Values & Vision
RARE Leaders is built for you if:
You’re a woman of color passionate about advancing social impact and justice
You’re aspiring, emerging, or navigating leadership as a changemaker without a roadmap that reflects your lived experience
You’re ready to align your career with your beliefs and nourish—not stifle—your intuition
You’re tired of assimilating to spaces and systems not designed for your intersectionality
You want to build strategy—and solidarity—on your own terms to elevate & excel
Let’s Lead the Change
RARE Leaders isn’t just a philosophy or a program. It’s a movement to unlearn and upgrade leadership—we are restoring rest, resilience, and revolutionary care as our right for transformation. Book a complimentary consultation to begin exploring the possibilities of your next level as a leader.
