Bringing joy and mindfulness to how we live and lead.

Welcome,

Whether you are meeting me for the first time or know me through different spaces, communities, or roles, my work spans advocacy, healing, speaking, Cultural consultancy and nature-based connection.

This website brings it all together—one place to explore who I am, what I do, and how we can work together.

I’m Nuna Gleason.

I am a cultural thought leader, storyteller, and advocate who believes in peaceful power, embodied leadership, and joy as a source of strength and resistance.
My work is rooted in lived experience as an African immigrant, mother, healer, and survivor, and grounded in knowledge from psychology, mindfulness, and trauma-informed practice.

I help people understand culture not as a barrier, but as a bridge to connection, belonging, healing and joy.

I blend cultural wisdom, trauma-informed care, mindful leadership, and storytelling to create spaces where people feel:

  • Safe to be honest

  • Encouraged to find joy and possibility, even in complexity

  • Inspired to grow

  • Empowered to lead

  • Connected to themselves, their communities, and the world around them
