There was a moment — quiet but powerful — when I realized that the work I was doing wasn’t just about writing grants or building programs. It was about creating pathways for communities to thrive, reclaim their narratives, and build resilience in the face of systemic challenges. That moment planted the seed for what would become Wisdom Born Consulting, LLC.
I founded Wisdom Born Consulting because I saw a gap — not just in resources, but in relationships. Too often, organizations doing transformative work in environmental justice, education, and community development are overlooked or under-supported. I wanted to change that. I wanted to build a consulting practice rooted in advocacy, creativity, and care — one that uplifts the voices of those most impacted and helps them access the tools they need to lead change.
The name “Wisdom Born” reflects a belief I hold deeply: that wisdom is not just learned, it’s lived. It’s born from experience, struggle, and the courage to imagine something better. My own journey — as a researcher, artist, educator, advocate and mother — informs every aspect of this work. Whether I’m supporting a grassroots organization with grant strategy, designing an arts education curriculum, or creating art, I bring my whole self to the table.
Through initiatives like GrantWise Solutions, Abstract in Color, Wisdom Born Designs and my Technical Assistance partnerships, Wisdom Born Consulting is more than a business — it’s a movement. It’s a space where creativity meets compliance, where data meets storytelling, and where communities are empowered to define success on their own terms.
To every client, collaborator, and community partner: thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your vision, your challenges, and your dreams. I’m honored to walk alongside you, and I look forward to continuing this journey together.
With gratitude,
Natisha S. Jordan
Founder/CEO/Creative Director, Wisdom Born Consulting, LLC
