“We weren’t born to fit in—we were called to rebuild what was never made for us. Strategy is our blueprint, and legacy is the outcome.”

— Dr. Rashonda Harris

About Purple Sheep

Our Story

Purple Sheep was founded to transform systems—and to center the people navigating them.

We operate at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and impact, partnering with higher education institutions, research teams, and leaders to restore clarity, strengthen accountability, and build sustainable capacity. Our work goes beyond process improvement; it is rooted in people, guided by intention, and driven by results.


From research administration and compliance to leadership development and executive coaching, we design frameworks that translate complexity into action—and ensure transformation endures.


 

Our Ethos: We Are H.E.R.™

Healed. Empowered. Resilient.


We Are H.E.R.™ shapes how Purple Sheep leads, serves, and builds legacy. It is not a program—it is the mindset and ecosystem that informs our work, turning reflection into leadership and purpose into power.


Through our core pathways:

💜 Black Women Who Mentor™ — Development & Mentorship
💜 Purple Crowns & Connections™ — Community & Leadership Circles
💜 Purple Wins™ — Strategy & Advancement
💜 Purple Sheep Diaries™ — Storytelling & Amplification


We cultivate spaces where insight becomes action and leadership becomes legacy.


Together, we’re not just improving systems—we’re rebuilding them with clarity, intention, and purpose.



Behind Purple Sheep

 Founded by Dr. Rashonda D. Harris, MBA, CRA, Purple Sheep is where lived experience meets leadership. Rooted in purpose, driven by vision—this is where legacy begins.  

Behind Purple Sheep 💜

From Experience to Emergence

If the story behind Purple Sheep resonates with you, it’s because it was never meant to stop at story. 


Our work is grounded in the Purple Emergence Framework™ and delivered through the SEED Method™ , supporting leaders who are ready to move from internal clarity to visible, sustainable impact.


What forms beneath the surface determines how you fly.

Why Emergence

Emergence is not motivation.
It is not hustle.
And it is not performance.


It is the intentional process of seeing yourself clearly, claiming your authority, executing with purpose, and carrying your impact beyond yourself.


This is the work that happens before the promotion, before the pivot, before the platform.


This is where strategy meets identity.

The Work We Do Now

At Purple Sheep Consulting, our services are designed to support that process—
for individuals, leaders, and institutions ready to move with clarity instead of force.


Whether through coaching, advisory work, or professional education, our focus is the same  for individuals and institutions alike.: Helping people align who they are with how they lead—so what they build actually lasts.

Explore Coaching

Our Approach

We lead with intentionality—rooted in emotional intelligence, active listening, and a systems-focused lens that turns challenges into opportunities.


We build environments of belonging, where authenticity is honored and leadership is redefined through empathy and alignment.


We cultivate spaces for growth, awareness, and transformation—turning individual healing into collective empowerment.


This is The Purple Impact. 💜

Meet the Flock! 💜
