"The Biz of Becoming" - Redefining Business Success for Black Professionals by Principal Consultant Temeka T. Stanley
ENC Solutions is honored to be featured in the latest issue of Sundana Magazine—a publication devoted to nurturing body attunement, ancestral wisdom, and liberated steps forward in a modern world. This issue is all about redefining business success for Black professionals.
In this special editorial, ENC Solutions’ Principal Consultant, Temeka T. Stanley, offers a timely piece titled The Biz of Becoming Rooted in cultural clarity and lived experience, the article explores how Black professionals are redefining success—not through titles or performance, but by reclaiming identity, creativity, and well-being outside of extractive systems.
Decentering Entrepreneurship: Why This Work Matters
“Becoming,” as framed in the piece, is not just a brand—it’s a return. A remembering. A refusal to shrink. It’s where strategy meets attunement. In a world where success often demands assimilation, becoming is nothing short of alignment.
"Becoming" here doesn’t point to performance, achievement, or KPIs. It speaks to a return to self—outside the confines of roles, corporate decorum, or systems never built for authentic belonging. It emphasizes the importance of identity over mere performance.
The Becoming of the Black Paper Volume 1
Exploring Success & Self-Perception
The Black Paper: Volume 1 is a survey-informed publication by ENC Solutions that explores how Black professionals define success and view themselves today.
This journal offers a concise, research-based look into the lived realities behind professional identity, resilience, and leadership.
Developed through surveys, case studies, and reflective inquiry, the journal highlights four key themes:
A shift toward success defined by wellness, autonomy, and alignment.
The pressure to minimize identity to navigate professional spaces.
The emotional toll of constant resilience.
A growing desire for ownership and self-directed leadership.
Tied to the Work: Sundana Magazine Feature
This work was further explored in our recent Sundana Magazine feature, “The Biz of Becoming” by Principal Consultant Temeka T. Stanley. It connects these insights to the broader cultural shift toward entrepreneurship, attuned alignment, and purpose-led leadership.

The Future of Business Success
As we look ahead, the landscape of business is changing. The traditional metrics of success are being challenged. It's not just about revenue or growth anymore. It's about how we feel, how we connect, and how we express our true selves in our work.
In this evolving environment, we must embrace a holistic approach to success. This means prioritizing mental health, well-being, and authentic connections. The journey of becoming is not just personal; it’s collective. Together, we can redefine what success means.
Embracing Our Identities
Our identities are powerful. They shape our perspectives, influence our decisions, and guide our paths. Embracing who we are is essential for true success. When we honor our identities, we unlock our potential. We become more than just professionals; we become leaders and innovators.
Creating a Supportive Community
Building a supportive community is vital. We need spaces where we can share our experiences, learn from one another, and uplift each other. This sense of belonging fuels our growth and empowers us to take bold steps forward.
Conclusion: The Path Ahead
The journey of becoming is ongoing. It requires courage, resilience, and a commitment to authenticity. As we navigate this path, let’s continue to support each other. Together, we can create a future where success is redefined, and every individual can thrive.
Let’s embrace the journey of becoming. Let’s celebrate our identities and pave the way for future generations. The time is now to step into our power and redefine success on our terms.
