Lakeisha is an Executive Communications Strategist, editor, and writer who helps leaders articulate their vision with clarity, authority, and resonance. With over five years of experience supporting executive voices across industries, she brings precision, emotional intelligence, and narrative strategy to every message—ensuring that each word builds trust, alignment, and long-term brand credibility. Her expertise spans executive ghostwriting, strategic messaging, and thought leadership development, with a proven ability to adapt tone and voice to reflect the heart of an organization’s mission. Whether managing complex communications workflows or crafting keynote speeches, Lakeisha’s work balances strategic intent with authentic human connection.

Beyond her corporate work, Lakeisha is the founder of The Story Temple—a sanctuary for writers and leaders seeking to reclaim the energetics of their voice. Through her signature framework rooted in the four elements—Earth, Air, Fire, and Water—she teaches writing energetics that make authentic voices transformational, not merely palatable.

In The Story Temple, writing becomes both a craft and a ritual—a process of returning to the body, the truth, and the pulse beneath the words. This spiritual foundation deepens her work in executive communications, reminding every client that powerful messaging begins not with performance, but with presence.

And through her podcast, The Creative Code Switch, Lakeisha takes that mission even further. It’s a space for Black and Brown writers who are done being told to water down their authentic voice for “industry acceptance.” With the same elemental wisdom that anchors her teaching, she breaks down the barriers that keep marginalized creatives small—naming the systems that demand we code-switch our creativity just to be heard.

In this week’s episode, dropping October 14, 2025, they unpack the realities of extraction, value, and creative sovereignty for Black women. They speak on righteous rage, boundaries, and the courage to charge for what’s sacred. From the exploitation of Black women’s labor to the myth of “inclusive” spaces, this episode is both fiery and grounding — an invocation to honor your voice, your worth, and your work.

​Tune in for a conversation that bridges craft, energy, and community — reminding us that our stories are not for consumption, they’re for communion.

Lakeisha just dropped something powerful in The Story Temple — two tools for writers ready to claim clarity.

The Fiction Template isn’t just about organizing plot. It’s about excavating the truth your story wants to tell — what’s pulsing beneath the surface. That’s the same framework that helped a writer go from “I can’t answer a single question about my novel” to having a full outline and a clear sense of direction.

And now, the Nonfiction Template brings that same depth to essays, newsletters, and books rooted in truth-telling. It helps you find your angle, build a structure that holds, and uncover the universal thread that makes your ideas matter.

Both are layered, intentional, and rooted in the elemental way Lakeisha teaches — through Fire, Earth, Air, and Water. One focused session. Three levels of depth. A map back to your creative clarity. If you’ve been circling ideas — knowing something’s there but not sure how to name it — this is where you start.
