Founder and Lead Consultant

Kamyala Howard (pronouns she, her, hers), MSW, LCSW, is the founder of WE’RE DIVINE consulting. Ms. Howard is a licensed mental health practitioner certified in a range of evidence-based practices and training methodologies. She received her graduated degree from the University of Minnesota with special emphasis on cultural studies, community relations, leadership development and behavioral health.

As a Community Leader and Agent of Social Change, it is her duty to establish a system that brings voices of those representing marginalized communities to the table, so they can be a part of solution-focused discussions to complex problems.


She believes in making a difference one "Disruption" at a time.

WE ARE DIVINE

The Power of Authenticity

 “As a young Black child thriving in a world that rejects you based on the color of your skin; we must learn to love our true authentic self and re-establish the village to overcome the barriers that are brought against us”.

About Us

Our Values

We believe in creating supportive environments to increase individual’s capacity to “hold space” for difficult conversations and develop a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives and practices. Such spaces generates mutual understanding, (self) accountability and shared meaning to promote growth and development. 


We believe in “Dis-un-empowerment” (created by Dr. Scott Simmerman) a method to remove barriers perceived and/or real that block individuals from achieving and developing into their full potential


We Believe in:

  • Commitment  as we are on a shared  journey 
  • Building  Authentic characteristics
  • Opportunity for shared meaning and understanding
  • Courage to conquer challenges and overcome discomfort
  • Elimination  of  Polarizing Behaviors

A moment of reflection

"I created WE’RE DIVINE to overcome the limitations experienced as the only woman of color in a position of leadership. Many of my privileged colleagues were uncomfortable addressing inequities and oppressive practice that occurred in the workplace.  Such experiences confirmed my Divine purpose to dismantle systems of oppression and support others in overcoming the fear of engaging differences".

Why hire WE’RE DIVINE?

  • Could you benefit from an outside consultant to start your DEI initiative? Implement anti-biased practices? 
  • Are you an ally and don't know where to begin?
  • Do you need support in shifting the cultural perspective? 
  • Do you need support and strategies for professional burnout and compassionate care practices?


Our innovative methods will assist you with sustainable outcomes.
