My name is Bianka Nora. For over 15 years, I've worked as a deputy executive director, organizer, facilitator, and coach within movement spaces; supporting people through some of their most challenging moments and campaigns. And for just as long, I've dreamed of going deeper.

About a year ago, I took a leap and started my own firm, Currents Coaching, to create a dedicated space for the grief we all carry, in life and that we inevitably bring in this transformative work.

Now, I have a chance to deepen my practice even further. I applied for, and was accepted into, the Coaching for Healing, Justice, and Liberation 9-Month Liberatory Coaching Program. It's a professional certification training designed for BIPOC movement leaders committed to learning coaching skills for individual and collective liberation. In short: it will give me more tools to support all of you.

The full tuition is $13,500, and I'm deeply grateful to have received a scholarship that covers more than half of that cost. Now, I'm turning to my community to help me cover the rest.

If you've witnessed my growth as a coach over the years, or if I've ever supported you through a tough professional or life decision, I'm asking you to pour back into me. Consider this an opportunity to pay it forward. Your support will help me keep showing up, keep healing, and keep supporting others.

Thank you for being part of my journey.
