"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, 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 a brand—it’s a return. A remembering. A refusal to shrink. It’s where strategy meets attunement. And in a world where success too often demands assimilation, becoming is nothing short of alignment.
"Becoming" here doesn’t point to performance, achievement or KPI's. It speaks to a return to self—outside the confines of roles, corporate decorum, or systems never built for authentic belonging. It doesn't point to performance or achievement.
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.
It 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, which connects these insights to the broader cultural shift toward entrepreneurship, attuned alignment, and purpose-led leadership.
