About Edline

In the rich tapestry of my life, I proudly wear the colors of my Haitian heritage, the legacy of a resilient people, and the strength of a first-generation American. Born and raised in the vibrant landscapes of Florida, I've learned to navigate the intricate dance between my roots and the boundless possibilities that come with being a part of this great nation.

My journey has been a testament to the power of perseverance and the belief that every unique perspective has the potential to reshape the world. Throughout my professional odyssey, I have often found myself standing as the lone voice, a beacon of diversity in predominantly white spaces. In these moments, I embraced the role of an educator, tirelessly championing the cause of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).

With a background deeply rooted in public health disparities research, I have spent nearly a decade immersing myself in the intricacies of the public health sector. I have donned various hats - researcher, consultant, student, and leader - each role contributing to the mosaic of skills and insights that I now bring to the forefront of my endeavors.

In the crucible of 2019, I seized the opportunity to manifest change on a grander scale. It was then that I founded Francois Coaching and Consulting, a visionary venture dedicated to empowering organizations on their journey towards EDI growth and maturity. This boutique firm stands as a testament to my unwavering commitment to revolutionize the way organizations perceive and implement EDI practices.

Francois Coaching and Consulting is not just a consultancy; it is a catalyst for transformation. We believe in the inherent power of diversity, not merely as a box to be checked, but as a wellspring of innovation and strength. Our mission goes beyond statistics and compliance – it's about fostering a cultural shift, a collective awakening that propels organizations towards a future where EDI is not an obligation but a celebrated cornerstone of success.

As I continue to trailblaze through uncharted territories, I invite you to join me on this transformative journey. Let us weave a narrative of inclusivity, where every voice, regardless of its origin, resonates with the symphony of progress. Together, we will redefine the narrative of EDI, not just for today but for the generations that follow.
