We had the good fortune of connecting with Thanecha Senat, MA and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Thanecha, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
My favorite quote is “My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor and some style.” – Maya Angelou

I love this quote because this is how I’ve aimed to live my life and what drives my businesses mission. I want my clients to feel empowered to know that they can live the life they’ve dreamed of. One where they are free from all that weighs them down.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
AJO Consulting Services, LLC aims to be the oasis in the desert of comprehensive wellness services in communities of color. By providing Personal and Professional Development, Life Coaching & Social Connection services, AJO Consulting Services, LLC aspires to empower individuals, communities and businesses to be their best selves.

AJO Consulting Services, LLC, was born from living life, learning lessons and actualizing that my purpose in life was to help other people achieve their freedom as well. I spent years of living check to living a life of comfort and stability. Went from struggling with crippling anxiety and not feeling like I had anyone to talk to, to now controlling those anxious thoughts and being a beacon for others who, too, are suffering from the hardships of navigating life. Going from feeling lost, not knowing where to turn when organized religion just didn’t help anymore, to being spiritually grounded and finding God when I did the work to find myself. From being anti-social because the spaces available to me just didn’t sit with who I was, to now creating a platform and spaces for those who, like me, yearn to be their genuine self wherever life takes them. From living in scarcity and holding on tight to the things I had out of the fear of not having enough, to now being able to indulge and enjoy luxury as I please. With the tools, skills and resources I provide, my clients will also be able to experience freedom that they didn’t know was possible.

AJO Consulting Services, LLC isn’t just a business for me, it really is a way of life. I’ve lived and practiced everything that I pass on to my clients. I provide real, compassion focused, individual care to all my clients, whether they are individuals or businesses because that isn’t just what I do but, it’s who I am.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First, and foremost, I’d like to give all thanks and glory to God, my ancestors and my spirit team because they don’t play about me! In those moments of doubt and struggle, they get me through whatever the issue. Secondly, I’d like to shout out my family, my friends and my partner who continue to support me, encourage me and see my vision. I can’t not shout out Ayanna McNeill and my Writing Our Own Stories, Inc. writing group and Board members, as well as, my ladies in “The Ladies Lounge”, my unofficial therapist Omari Williams, my sister-friend Jennifer V., my girl Keshia Cameron, LCSW, my “spiritual grounder” Kaida and last, but not least, Andre Apparicio of Community Over Competition, who has been one of my biggest supporters. For those named and unnamed, I love every last one you who have been riding with me!
