What is Holiday Headway? Holiday Headway is a 3-month virtual writing coaching package that offers 1:1 coaching support and community support. It's designed specifically for Black women scholars and authors who want to protect their intellectual work between October and December without burning out. Instead of heavy weekly assignments or mandatory calls, Holiday Headway offers quiet accountability and strategic clarity to help you make progress on your writing project through the holiday season.
How does Holiday Headway work? As October arrives, the academic and calendar year begins its familiar, frantic acceleration. Grading looms, holiday obligations multiply, and winter fatigue sets in. For Black women scholars and authors, this is usually the season when your writing projects (dissertations, novels, scholarly articles and books) get pushed aside until the new year. But waiting until January doesn't bring relief; it brings stress and lost momentum.

Holiday Headway bolsters your writing progress by creating virtual structure, accountability, and support for your writing project by providing one 50-minute 1:1 coaching session with Dr. Roshaunda and 3 months of access to the LELA House Community. All live meetings will be via Zoom.
Who is this for? Holiday Headway will best serve Black women scholars, doctoral candidates, and authors who want to protect their intellectual and creative work between October and December without burning out. This is for you if you don't have the bandwidth for heavy writing obligations during the holiday season but still need a guaranteed weekly appointment with your own words.
Please Note: This package comes with a survey for you to complete before our first 1:1 session.

One 1:1 Strategy Session (50 Minutes) ($150 value)
