Hello Friend! Meet Your Leadership and Mental Health Specialist

Hi, I’m Erica—the founder of Human Freely, LLC. I help emerging leaders lead with integrity, resilience, and purpose so they can create teams where people want to stay and grow.

Leadership is more than a job -

it’s a calling.

I’m a woman of color with over 18 years of experience in hospitality—including 14 years in Human Resources—and I know what it’s like to succeed on paper but struggle quietly behind the scenes. Promotions, praise, and pay raises didn’t shield me from burnout, self-doubt, or the pressure to constantly prove my worth.

I created Human Freely because leadership is more than a job title—it’s a calling. And it shouldn’t come at the cost of your well-being, your values, or your faith.

Why I Do This Work

What Guides Me

  • Faith, even when the path forward isn’t fully clear

  • Integrity, especially when no one is watching

  • Excellence, without perfectionism

  • Equity, because not all leaders start with the same support

I believe every leader deserves mentorship, tools, and a safe space to grow—and that’s exactly what I provide.

Who I Serve

I work best with emerging leaders—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—who are motivated, purpose-driven, and ready to break patterns that no longer serve them. Whether you’re leading a team for the first time or navigating a leadership role with little support, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
