HI, I’M STERLING
My work in cultural advisement stems from my lived experiences across the globe.
At the core of everything I do is the belief that equity is still an unfinished project. Whether it’s through intercultural exchange, leadership training, or direct advocacy, my goal is to create spaces where people can thrive, learn from one another, and collectively move toward a more interconnected future.
I firmly believe culture isn’t a backdrop — it’s the invisible force shaping how we live, work, and relate...
I'm not afraid to ask hard questions or challenge the status quo. Across every project, I ensure this radical approach to strategy isn’t just operational. It’s human, powerful, and resonant.
what i stand for
What I'm
embracing
Honesty and a willingness to address the hard truths. I believe in naming the elephants in the room, embracing discomfort, and fostering open dialogue, because meaningful change begins with authentic and courageous conversations.
What I'm
encouraging
I meet people where they are, believing in everyone’s potential. I strive to uncover common ground and foster understanding, leaving people more informed, empowered, and motivated to create meaningful change.
What I'm
not about
I don't work with individuals or organizations unwilling to confront entrenched bigotry, challenge harmful beliefs, or engage in open and productive dialogue. Growth requires a willingness to reflect, learn, and evolve.
what I
believe
I believe human connection is the foundation of progress and that true consideration is the key to understanding. By meeting others with empathy and respect, I strive to create spaces where people feel seen, heard, and empowered
