About Natalie Poindexter Initiatives

From “Nice to Have” to “Necessary Partner”

I’m no longer building quietly in the background. If you’re here, it’s because you’re ready to move — not just watch.

I work with:

  • Nonprofits & social impact orgs that need funding systems, not last-minute grant panics.
  • Certified small businesses & founders (MBE, WBE, VOSB, etc.) who are tired of leaving non-dilutive money on the table.
  • Event hosts & organizations that want real, grounded conversations on purpose, equity, funding, and wellness—not diversity theater.
  • Communities & ecosystems that want curated, intentional spaces where Black women and marginalized leaders don’t have to shrink to belong.

If you’re past the “inspiration only” phase and ready for clarity, structure, and receipts, you’re in the right place.

Approach – Human Design, Astrology, Lived Experience

How I Work: Design, Stars, and Lived Experience

My work is strategic and spiritual. I’m not pretending those are separate.

I move through the world as:

  • A Black woman who has navigated systems not built for me and still decided to build new ones.
  • A Funding Systems Architect who thinks in logic models and long-term infrastructure.
  • A student of human design and astrology, weaving these tools into how I design work, capacity, and expansion.

You’ll feel that in how I:

  • Protect my energy and yours (we don’t do burnout-as-a-brand).
  • Call things what they are—with care, but without sugar-coating.
  • Build strategies that honor your nervous system, your community, and your reality, not just your OKRs.

This work is for people who are ready to be seen, resourced, and held to a higher standard—without being stripped of their humanity.
