Are your values aligned?

My parents, Wenda Weekes and Cornell Leverette Moore, initially founded Leverette Weekes in the 1970s to address the lack of hiring opportunities for Black lawyers. Later, they created new pathways and opportunities in real estate.
Now rebranded as a communications and executive coaching company, LW remains firmly rooted in creating economic opportunity. This month, I celebrated my nine-year anniversary since I made it my full-time job to collaborate with people who believe in the power of inclusion to improve our workplaces and communities.

Black Collective Foundation
Join us in Minneapolis November 18–20, 2025 for the Black Collective Foundation’s first ever Collective Sum, featuring Tricia Hersey, founder of The Nap Ministry. The Sum is an immersive experience exploring ideas and dreams at the intersection of culture, economic power, and civic engagement. Together, we’ll engage in conversations and tactics that are both responsive to and unyielding in the face of today’s challenges—all while caring for one another. Register here.
The McKnight Foundation
The wires are buzzing about McKnight’s new building! The story was picked up by Associated Press/U.S. News/MSN News; CBS WCCO News; Finance & Commerce to name a few. We’re proud of the role LW played in the announcement and chuffed for our clients at McKnight. Congrats, team!
