As a certified life coach, author, motivational speaker, and emcee, Danyel captivates audiences with her engaging and heartfelt storytelling.

Dr. Danyel Nicole Black is a native of New Orleans, LA, and currently resides in Slidell, LA. She is a two-time graduate of Xavier University, where she obtained bachelor’s and master’s degrees. She completed her doctorate in Educational Leadership at Pacific University, with research focusing on identifying and addressing barriers to educational mobility, equity, success, and motivation. Her leadership and commitment to service are exemplified by her numerous awards, participation in various organizations, and volunteerism.

In 2020, Danyel founded Crown Me Foundation in an effort to restore and heal self, communities, and families. She recognized the need to support girls and women, especially those from traditionally marginalized communities, as they navigate life’s challenges and social adversities. Through effective programming, sustainable partnerships, and energetic volunteers, Crown Me Foundation has positively impacted the lives of countless girls and women, continuing to blaze trails with its signature Pink & Gold initiatives.
Danyel is also the founder of Danyel Nicole LLC, introducing the transformative Aware Black Woman movement. This initiative aims to dismantle the “strong Black woman” persona, replacing it with a narrative that empowers women to embrace authenticity, awareness, and intentional growth.

As a certified life coach, author, motivational speaker, and emcee, Danyel captivates audiences with her engaging and heartfelt storytelling. A proud graduate of Monica Pierre’s Story Maker Academy and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated, she continues to inspire change and foster empowerment in every facet of her work. Of her many accomplishments, she is most proud of being called “Mom” by her two amazing sons, Carter and Connor.
