I believe those who are successful should go back and grab the hand of someone else. From my journey growing up in Flint, Michigan, to becoming a student at Michigan State, where I earned my Ph.D. in Engineering to founding several companies, including BBFoster Consulting, PC, I know first hand the big difference a little help can make. As a first generation entrepreneur, it was always important for me to have success in my home AND in business. 

We all have a story to tell!. I grew up in a household with two loving parents, but the diagnosis of my mother’s paranoid schizophrenia impacted my life beginning at age three. As the youngest of four children, I was always very protective of my immediate family, and I despised witnessing the mistreatment of others. As I transitioned into college to study engineering, I was one of only a handful of black students in my program during my years at Michigan State University. I had to learn to press past fear and learn to stand up for myself to avoid being minimized or mistreated in what started out as an academically intimidating environment. I have learned to navigate various life transitions, including the impacts of the murder of my only brother in 1982. His murder is still unsolved today. 

In my professional career, I spent years learning to become a successful entrepreneur and building an award winning consulting corporation. I desire to be your coach to guide you to success in business and help you navigate the many transitions that will occur throughout your lifetime.
