Meet the founder

“Leading with vision. Serving with heart. Building legacy through people.”

Who I Am

I’m Mykisha Taylor, the Founder and Executive Director of Her Legacy Leaders. I’m a published author, motivational speaker, certified mental health advocate, mentor, and substitute teacher. Every role I serve reflects my passion for empowering others, creating opportunities, and helping people discover their purpose while leaving a legacy that extends far beyond themselves.

My Vision for Her Legacy Leaders

What I Do

I believe leadership begins with service. Through my work, I educate, mentor, advocate, and inspire individuals to prioritize their mental wellness, embrace personal growth, and become confident leaders. Whether I’m writing, speaking, building businesses, teaching, or leading community initiatives, my goal is to create lasting impact through compassion, education, and meaningful action.

I founded Her Legacy Leaders because I saw the need for a community where women could heal, grow, and lead without judgment. My vision is to strengthen our communities through mental health advocacy, leadership development, youth mentorship, education, and outreach. Together, we’re creating a movement that empowers individuals, supports families, and builds stronger communities—one life, one leader, and one legacy at a time.
