FOUNDER & CEO
DJ NIXON
Growing up amidst people of diverse cultural backgrounds and having been fortunate to learn from extraordinary individuals whose experiences have profoundly shaped my life, I intimately understand how lack of representation and opportunity kills potential.
Perspective and context form integral parts of every underdog’s story, and I am passionate about crafting authentic, inclusive, culturally relevant, and inspiring messaging—empowering individuals to achieve against all odds.
I truly believe in the adage, “What you see, you become.”
Positioning multicultural thought leaders is bigger than financial profit; it’s about investing in a future that embraces diversity, fuels success, and embraces the responsibility to leave an indelible mark on generations to come.
Profitable Authority™ and interculturalism hold immense significance for me.
My purpose lies in leveraging my influence for positive change and empowering others to elevate their game.

PRESIDENT & COO
DR. LINETTE MONTAE
Growing up during a time when women were barely seen and absolutely not heard… my outspoken wisdom was hushed daily. By the time I left for college at 16 years old, society’s message regarding women’s value was crystal clear… and in response, I “lowered my voice” and “dimmed my value.”
Throughout the subsequent 5 years as an employee and 35 years as an entrepreneur, I consistently witnessed…
- women leaders passed over for promotions given to a less qualified colleague;
- women-owned businesses overshadowed by competition with a lesser quality product or service; and
- ownership of women’s thought-leader brilliance assumed by a less credible person.
Then, in 2020, I was shaken by the realization that the bias I experienced was not solely gender-based… and my passion for Cultural Equity, Profitability & Legacy was set on fire.
Redefining the rules is my purpose. Transforming the present and impacting the future is my legacy!
