About
Paying homage to Shirley Chisholm’s call to “bring a folding chair,” The Folding Chair Collective partners with leaders and decision-makers to strengthen how leadership is developed through the systems, policies, and decisions that shape access, opportunity, and organizational culture.
We work with organizations to redesign how leadership is recognized, supported, and sustained; moving beyond individual effort to focus on the structures that determine who is invited to lead and how that leadership is cultivated over time.
Our work centers on building organizations where leadership is distributed through intentional decision-making, where people are supported not only in their contributions but in their capacity to lead, and where systems are designed to make that leadership visible, sustainable, and shared.
Together, we help leaders redesign tables, clarify decision-making practices, and build environments where leadership is not concentrated, but cultivated.

Dr. Major has been nothing short of a God-sent experience. Her intentionality and deep alignment with the needs of doctoral students are evident in every interaction. She truly understands the rigor, complexity, and emotional weight of the doctoral journey and she shows up with clarity, strategy, and care.
My situation was uniquely challenging, and rather than shying away from that, she leaned in fully. Her dedication to seeing the entire process through, no matter how complex, speaks volumes about her commitment and integrity. She didn’t just coach me academically; she supported me holistically, reminding me what was possible even when the process felt overwhelming.
I highly recommend her to any doctoral student who needs more than surface-level support. She is invested, discerning, and purpose-driven in her work. At this point, we’re locked in for life because once you experience this level of guidance and care, there’s no going back. - Chima Lubin·
Dr. Major is a rare gem. I had an amazing experience in our Doctoral Coaching session, I left with a plan and strategy on how to move forward with my dissertation topic. I left feeling empowered and inspired. I will be booking my next session.
