Connect with I am Afuru

Afuru came from the hard life of Queens, New York grew up with a promising education also living in Baltimore, Maryland but later found herself homeless for years in South Florida.

 A Single mom of two, when doctors said she couldn't have children, but God. A family that rejected her and a brother that was murdered. Still keeping "family" as her sacred space. Afuru transformed herself into a brave story and became a woman of God. A speaker, girl boss, author, motivation coach, host, Architect Designer, a dedicated mother, a business woman and a friend.

Our platform is more than just a site; it’s a vibrant community focused on positive transformation. We explore how our spaces influence our mindset, embracing a minimalist and soft lifestyle that promotes renewal and growth. And also who we have as company and who has access to our space and our peace that we learn to create. Healing is a lifestyle and this is a healed and "becoming healed" community.

We delve into faith and spirituality, empowering individuals to unlock their potential through self-improvement and financial freedom. Vision boards become a powerful tool in this journey, helping us visualize our dreams and manifest them into reality. This tool is fun and inviting to creat or we can create it for you.

With a soul-stirring blend of storytelling, spirituality, and practical strategy, Afuru inspires audiences to realign with what matters most: retention of self-worth, rebranding through faith and vision, and leading life with an attitude of gratitude. IamAfuru words don’t just motivate- they activate. Whether speaking to organizations, creatives, entrepreneurs, or girl bosses in transition, I Am Afuru delivers messages that resonates, strategies that serve, and energy that shifts atmospheres. She is the Pivot Queen. Your audience won’t be left just inspired, they’ll leave completely transformed.

The Connection & the Rebranding Approach

Green Grass Called Gratitude and Keep the Sunroof Open are deeply connected not as separate tools, but as building steps within a 1-2-3-4 rebranding approach to becoming who you were always meant to be. These books exist because rebranding yourself is not a moment it is a process. We teach these steps in our Leaders Retreat called Gratitude 360. Please learn more about our course work on the Course Page.

📘Keep the Sunroof Open and Green Grass Call Gratitude books reflects my mission to help others awaken their God-given vision, rebrand their lives with purpose, and design a legacy rooted in healing, gratitude, and truth.

📗Green Grass Called Gratitude teaches you how to use gratitude to rebrand your identity from the inside out. Instead of focusing on what’s missing or delayed, the book helps you recognize what is already working and growing in your life.

By practicing gratitude, you begin to think more clearly, build confidence, and make better decisions. Gratitude grounds you, helping you take thoughtful risks and move forward without fear or comparison. It shifts how you see yourself and how you choose your next steps. Creating a path out of noway and leaving a trail as a legacy.

This book shows that when you change how you see your life, you change how you show up in it and that is how true rebranding begins. 🌱

 "Hearing Afuru speak was more than just motivation, it was a spiritual reset. She didn’t just inspire me; it was like she saw me. Her words pierced through every layer of fear and reminded me that my vision still matters. I walked in feeling stuck and overwhelmed… and I walked out ready to rebrand my life, with purpose and gratitude at the center. Every person in that room felt seen, heard, and called higher. She’s not just a speaker, she’s a divine force of clarity peace and and powerful transformation."
Workshop Attendee, Queens, NY

 I guide individuals in transforming their ideas, emotions, and goals into visual blueprints for their now and their future. It’s more than just pasting pictures, it’s a sacred act of intention and alignment.

Through every keynote, course, and workshop, I speak to the parts of us that are ready to rise from survival to strategy, from pain to purpose, and from dreams to divine execution.

When people encounter my work, they don’t just feel inspired they walk away with a vision, a plan, and the belief that they’re worthy of both.
