Meet Ritha Pierre: A Visionary Leader, Advocate, and Lifelong Learner.
Empowering Change Through Law, Media, and Entrepreneurship.
Welcome
Hello there, I'm Ritha Pierre, your dedicated solutionist, fixer, and problem solver. From the very first steps I took, I've been a zealous social activist, and that passion has guided me on an incredible journey. I wear many hats – attorney, entrepreneur, radio personality, producer, and the proud CEO of Black Ivy Media. While I groove to trap music, share memes, and embrace all things Haitian, my true love is learning. I'm an avid seeker of knowledge, always on the lookout for opportunities to propel myself forward in life.
But my true passion lies in serving others. Currently, I'm the General Counsel of a prominent New York-based not-for-profit organization. In the past, I've served as Associate Labor Counsel, Human Resources Director for Highgate, and Associate General Counsel at SEIU Local 32 BJ, where I represented dedicated labor union members. I've also stood as an Assistant District Attorney at the Kings County District Attorney’s Office, specializing in prosecuting domestic violence and elder abuse cases, before transitioning to general crimes.
Beyond my legal pursuits, I'm carving out spaces for the empowerment of Black men and women. Leveraging my years of advocacy experience and deep-rooted commitment to uplifting the masses, I founded Black Ivy Media in 2020. This platform offers culturally relevant media content, including podcasts, op-eds, panel discussions, and insightful short films, to inform, educate, entertain, and inspire.
As the host of FREEda's World podcast, I facilitate important conversations that empower and inspire women of color to navigate the professional world with confidence. This platform, along with the events and panel discussions we host, is designed to create a supportive community for women to share their stories and find solutions to the unique challenges they face. I’m also the author of The Unapologetic Superwoman and The Road to Esquire anthology, where I explore the strength and resilience of Black women in their professional journeys, further showcasing my commitment to advocacy and empowerment.
My diverse background and technical expertise, combined with my creative flair, have uniquely equipped me to be the coach I am today. With these tools, I'm dedicated to guiding my clients towards their own solutions and empowering them with the realization that the answers they seek reside within them.
As I continue to advocate for my community, my heart remains steadfastly devoted to advancing the Black community. A beacon of hope, I strive to provide guidance, direction, and a pathway to excellence. Empowering Black individuals with the resources and knowledge to overcome life's challenges and attain happiness, prosperity, and success is my driving force. This is why I embraced coaching.
Within the realm of executive coaching, I'm here to be your partner on your journey to greatness. So, welcome aboard – let's embark on this transformative journey together!
