Hi! I'm Rayshauna, an entrepreneur, writer, and researcher with roots in Chicago, IL and Cambridge, MA.

I'm the creator of The Heart Work, a framework and facilitated workshop series that helps people interrogate how imposter syndrome impacts their lives. I also recently released my 72-card Modus Operandi Deck for meaningful solo and group reflection. It’s also available in Braille booklet form and via Deckible’s site along with the Google Play and the App Stores.

I'm also one of the researchers delving into the history of enslavement at Cambridge's Longfellow House and Washington Headquarters. This project is spearheaded by the National Park Service and the National Council on Public History.

The last decade of my career has included strategizing for startups and managing programs for students from Shenzhen to Stockholm to St. Louis. I had a wonderful time creating content for the Cambridge Historical Society and Boston's Museum of African American History, helping run burgeoning initiatives at Harvard and MIT, helping plan the Boston Book Festival and mapping 400 years of African American history as a member of Tufts University's Center for the Study of Race & Democracy research team. Time at THREAD at Yale, creating legislation with the National Organization for Women, and being published were sweet spots too.
