The Story of Talisa Lavarry
ABOUT
I'm Talisa Lavarry, and many know me as America's Anti-Racism Coach. My journey began with personal trials. Born and raised in the South, I confronted numerous challenges marked by racism. These experiences took me to some of the darkest moments of my life. During a crucial nine-day treatment, I found a glimmer of hope and sketched out a plan. That blueprint became my firm, Morale First.
I quickly found a calling in anti-racism coaching after authoring a book and establishing my business. My story resonated with many, inviting me to deliver a TEDx talk on 'Allyship.' Inspired by the response, I wrote a workbook, "Allyship & Me."
What makes my approach distinct is its personal touch. I offer a trauma-informed, laid-back, self-paced, personalized pathway to understanding and challenging racism. In the safe space I create, individuals can unpack the intricacies of racism, ensuring that they leave educated and dedicated to their personal allyship journeys. My primary clients? Middle-aged, educated white women with an innate sense of empathy and a genuine desire for transformative change. They see the far-reaching implications of racism and are keen to delve deep into its complexities.
Unlike many in my field, I believe there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Each person's journey is unique, and my role is to guide them through it, trauma-informed and tailored to their needs. I often get asked about the costs of my services and the challenges that come with my role. If I had to sum up my philosophy in a phrase, it would be: "Being 'Not Racist' isn't enough. The goal should be becoming 'Anti-Racist.'"
If you want to explore this path with me, I invite you to a complimentary discovery call. Let's find out if we're the right fit and embark on this enlightening journey together.
