Zakiya Williams-Spears is a seasoned educator, business strategist, and learning architect who helps purpose-driven leaders turn their expertise into scalable, impactful learning ecosystems. With over 15 years in education and a background spanning curriculum design, instructional strategy, and organizational development, she has designed hundreds of curricula, facilitated transformational learning experiences for thousands, and guided clients toward greater profit, purpose, and positioning.

Raised in a family of educators, community organizers, and legacy-builders, Zakiya’s approach is deeply informed by her lived experience and generational wisdom. She brings a liberatory lens to every engagement, ensuring that learning doesn’t just inform, but transforms. Her work sits at the intersection of vision, operations, and design, equipping coaches, consultants, agencies, and institutions to create programs that run smoothly, serve deeply, and build lasting impact.

Through her signature offers, she supports leaders in refining their frameworks, evolving their delivery models, and building learning environments that clients don’t just enter—they stay in, grow through, and carry forward into the world.

When she’s not architecting transformational programs, you’ll find Zakiya meditating, jumping rope, volunteering in local schools, enjoying a classic New York slice, or dreaming about the future of education as a tool for healing, equity, and liberation.

She lives in Brooklyn, NY, with her husband, two sons, and their pet bearded dragon, Dino.
