Imagine That: A Note From Our Founder
The Vision at a Glance
Picture a world where education isn't confined to classroom walls, where learning is a dynamic journey that transcends borders, embraces paid, intergenerational, project-based experiences, and empowers all individuals to shape their destinies. In a world where education reform efforts have fallen short of creating meaningful impact, I write with a fervent belief in a brighter future.
My journey through academia - both as a student and master educator – reveal the gaps that embarrassingly remain persistent in preparing modern learners for a fulfilling life. This unfortunate reality disproportionately impedes the progress of those from underrepresented communities. The shadows of inadequate systems and unfulfilled potential haunt us all - in all areas of life. Transformation is long overdue.
I stand at the intersection of experience and exploration, ready to rewrite the story of education. My unrelenting passion for change led me to two years of dedicated research and planning during an unpaid sabbatical. I've owned this challenge and have emerged with a radical vision. Today, I’m embracing my educator’s heart and venturing into social entrepreneurship. Join me, as I invite you to embark on an extraordinary, global voyage to transform the future of education, industries, and society itself. This is the birth of ZENtertainment™ Enterprises.
How Did We Get Here…Where The Journey Began
In a world weighed down by the relentless grind and the ceaseless pursuit of busyness, I, like many, knew the heavy toll of burnout and discontentment. Imagine feeling trapped in a life devoid of inspiration, straining against the belief that your potential is nothing more than a mirage. This was my reality, an educator at the tender age of 25, caught in a cycle of unfulfillment. But my story isn't mine alone; it echoes the struggles of countless others across industries. Our modern existence, dominated by never-ending to-do lists, has severed our connection with ourselves and others, leaving little room for creativity, reflection, holistic wellbeing, and global impact.
Since this traumatic season in my early career, I've orchestrated collaborations with renowned thought leaders and organizations, crafting transformative online and offline experiences that have empowered individuals, teams, and communities worldwide to prioritize personal wellbeing as the driving force behind profound social impact. But, as a solopreneur and educator, that was just the beginning of my career and influence.
Now, I extend an invitation to those I call the “Pillars of the Village” - the creative leaders and strategic thinkers from around the world. This is a call to join forces as we embark on a journey to global change by reshaping both education and industries of the future.
Where We Are…The Genesis of Change:
Relationships are the bedrock of my approach. I thrive on cultivating connections with senior executives, thought leaders, industry partners, and others from diverse life, educational and professional paths. I channel these bonds to achieve exceptional outcomes for individuals, teams and communities. Leaning into this skill set and having more clarity on my divine assignment, ZENtertainment™ Enterprises was born.
Our agency focuses on efficient, fresh, and human-centered marketing and recruitment solutions tailored to socially responsible organizations in essential industries worldwide.
By leveraging these content and entertainment-driven offerings as paid, hands-on opportunities, ZENtertainment™ creates global, project-based education experiences for modern learners from underrepresented communities. The emphasis on social responsibility allows our entertainment experience consultancy to address the needs of both clients and modern learners in a distinctive way.
While having experience with making things happen in scrappy settings, it’s time to get aggressive, expand and secure additional resources to ensure ZENtertainment™ Enterprises can create more meaningful impact.
