Meet Natisha Livingston | Networking Expert & Income Strategist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Natisha Livingston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Natisha, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
My background is in investing and for years I helped people in my community learn how to invest and diversify their income into different financial markets. While working with many people of color, I heard the term “In my bag” quite often. What I realized was people in my community did not have any issues with making money, they could figure that part out. The issue came to managing money and keeping money. As I reversed engineered this thought, it came to me that many of our spending habits and relationships with money are directly tied to the trauma that we have experienced. With that, I was able to create the Five Pillars of a Healed and Whole Woman who is in her bag- She must first heal her trauma, increase her confidence, and shift her mindset. This right here is the work that many people like to skip over. Once this internal work has been done, that’s when we can focus on entrepreneurship and investing. You can’t help someone multiply their money when they have a lack mindset tied to past traumas. Queens Teaching Queens is a networking and professional development community that is dedicated to the spiritual, mental and finacial transformation of the professional woman.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I have been Coined the “Connection Queen” and the “P. Diddy of Black Girl Magic” by my peers, because I am known for connecting women of all walks of life in business and curating spaces for women to be transparent and their most authentic selves.

Entrepreneur for five years with over ten years of experience in corporate sales and marketing, I am extremely skilled in building intentional relationships, but have felt a sense of lonliness on my joureny in entrepreneurship. I yearned for community, and instead of awkwardly forcing my way into someone else’s, I created one myself. I decided I was going to be the mentor, the friend, the support system I needed in my early days. With this I started showing up as such and ultimately started attracting women just like me. Fellow leaders, and community builders who felt alone, felt like they didn’t have anyone to vent to, and were struggling in silence.

Have you ever asked yourself the question, “Where do the go tos go to?”

You know the individuals that I am talking about – your strong friend, the ones who check on everyone else, the ones running families, businesses, and communities all at the same time. Who checks in on them? Where do they get their cup filled up at? Queens Teaching Queens is the community that fills your cup up when your cup is always being poured from.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I am so loved and supported by my family and my loved ones and I do everything I do to make them proud. I want to shout out my Coach and friend Jalynn Jones for seeing the light in me before I saw it in myself. I came to her broken, defeated, and so unclear in what I was put on this Earth to do. She spoke life in me, guided me, and went to spiritual war with me to help me lay the foundation of my business and help me walk in my destined purpose. Major shout out to all the women a part of Queens Teaching Queens who believed in my vision enough to invest in me.
