I am incredibly grateful to have ‘found’ Dr. Roshaunda. I was at my wits end, close to finishing my dissertation and yet felt so far from ever completing it. My hope was to find  someone to help me across the finish line. Dr, Roshaunda did that and more. During our time together, I was able to create a realistic plan for completion, share my frustrations, insecurities and laugh (she’s a lot of fun). Having her as a coach, cheerleader, guide and support was invaluable to me. In a matter of months, I accomplished what I’d been struggling to do for the past year. I cannot recommend Dr. Roshaunda enough! She is exactly what I needed to help me complete my dissertation. I thank God for connecting us!

I’ve had the privilege of working with Dr. Cade for over a year now as I’ve worked through an academic research project. Every consultation with Dr. Cade has been absolutely stellar. Writing is complicated on so many levels, from the unique challenges that face individual writers to the complex world of publishing, and Dr. Cade spoke wisely into all of them. She helped me reach clarity as I developed concepts, gave guidance on time-tabling and work rhythms that helped me keep moving forward, and helped me process tricky substantive issues in my argument. With regard to the text itself, she gave incisive critical input as well as much-needed encouragement. I ended every session with more clarity, uplifted and re-inspired to take the next steps. As I finished my write-up, she gave helpful advice as to what to expect in the submission process. I could not be more delighted with my experience as Dr. Cade’s client. I would enthusiastically recommend her to any writer, academic or otherwise, and I look forward to further opportunities to work with her.

Sometimes we enter into new, foreign territory, and we aren’t sure how to navigate the journey.  Many of us won’t venture into the ‘new’ because we can’t SEE where we are headed, even if we’ve seen others do it.  But, we know that new journeys bring new experiences of joy and happiness.  What I’ve learned is that we need people with us along the way.  We need people that will meet us where we are and encourage us from that point, until we get to the next point and are ready to try again.  It’s essential to experience love along the way, and love from others, so we remain courageous and curious about what lies ahead.  Roshaunda did that for me.  She has been holding my hand during my Ph.D. journey, and for that I am eternally grateful.  Let her hold yours.  You will thank me later.

Through writing with guidance from LELA life coach, Dr. Roshaunda Cade, I’m trying to heal myself after years of having my autonomy and feelings invalidated by my family because of my disabilities. Writing and discussing my thoughts with Dr. Cade helps me to step back and examine myself like an alien. How do my values manifest? How do my values shape who I am? How do I want my values to manifest? Dr. Cade is helping me on my journey of self-actualization by encouraging me to shine a light on my own S.TA.R. stories that highlight how I use my talents daily to live my life, and I know her guidance can help you too!

Auriel C. – In life, sometimes you may find that you need some direction and/or encouragement in making a major life decision. This was the case for myself. More specifically, I was trying to figure out the career that’s right for me. Through Dr. Roshaunda Cade’s coaching, I was able to determine the career I would like to pursue.

Dr. Cade is highly-knowledgable, upbeat, supportive, and always has some words of encouragement. I am forever grateful for the coaching/guidance she provided me.

Robin Evans – Roshaunda was a ray of light in the writing center at WGU. She treated everyone as if they were the most important person on the team and and considered problems as opportunities for growth and development. She led from the front, never considering any task too menial for her to complete. She is the type of leader I aspire to become, both professionally and personally.

RaShawn Johnson – Pursuing a doctoral degree for me has elicited an array of raw, intensifying emotions ranging from elation, disappointment, determination, fear, anger, uncertainty and faith. These supercharged emotions over the course of my pursuit to obtain my doctoral degree have afforded me opportunities to interact and forge professional and collegial relationships with an ample number of individuals. Some of the individuals I have encountered enhanced my educational journey, and others created mental and physical barriers that forced me to rely heavily on God and his promises.

I was referred to Dr. Roshaunda Cade for dissertation coaching to pull all of my dissertation loose ends together, and solidify my writing, so that my hard-work and passion for literacy could be conveyed to not only my committee members, but ultimately the world. Over time, my journey to secure such a rewarding and prestigious accomplishment became burdensome and my confidence was shattered, to say the least.

 Upon my first coaching session with Dr. Roshaunda Cade, my confidence and my attitude were positively altered, and God gave me peace during my coaching sessions with her. She has a way of inspiring, highlighting and thought-provokingly guiding you to recognize your writing strengths and weaknesses simultaneously. Her kind tone and professional knowledge base ignites one to retrieve from their mental schema the grammar and Standard English rules and protocols warranted for various writing situations.  Our weekly sessions unleashed and renewed my passion and rationale for becoming an educator and an advocate for literacy. I am a storyteller and have been noted for my creative flair in teaching and presenting literature. After my first few sessions with her, I felt lighter and free.

 Sure, I still encountered disappointments week after week, due to other factors unrelated to her; however, my faith and determination were fierce because we prayed during all of our sessions and we were unified in our teaching and learning efforts, and she made me feel like my doctoral completion was her number one priority.

 I would highly recommend Dr. Roshaunda Cade for your dissertation or basic writing needs, because she is highly qualified and passionate about mentoring the whole person and not just their writing needs. There is an old saying which states, “God brings people in your life for various seasons and reasons.”  I am extremely glad he brought her into my life, and I am honored to share my experience with you. Seek Dr. Roshaunda Cade for your academic or personal needs. She can definitely aid you in righting your writing wrongs.
