Alicia Graham is the founder of Empower & Prosper, a coaching and strategy company dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs transform their brilliance into bankable businesses. She is a Business & Money Mindset Coach, strategist, and community builder with a mission to equip women with the clarity, confidence, and unapologetic prosperity they need to scale their businesses and build lasting legacies. For more than two decades, Alicia has been a leader, entrepreneur, and advocate. She has served in executive roles, built her own private practice, and guided organizations through complex systems of growth and change. Today, she brings that same depth of experience to women entrepreneurs who are ready to stop playing small and start building businesses that reflect their true worth. Her Approach At Empower & Prosper, Alicia combines money mindset mastery with business psychology and strategic frameworks. She is known for her ability to take abstract ideas and turn them into clear, actionable strategies that drive visibility, revenue, and impact. Her coaching is playbook-driven, meaning clients don’t just leave with inspiration—they leave with tools, frameworks, and branded strategies they can implement immediately. Alicia’s work is rooted in three pillars: Mindset Mastery – helping women dismantle limiting beliefs, step into their power, and claim their value. Strategic Growth – guiding entrepreneurs to package their expertise, negotiate premium partnerships, and design scalable service models. Legacy Building – ensuring that every business decision contributes to long-term wealth, visibility, and cultural capital. What Makes Her Different Many coaches focus on either mindset or strategy. Alicia does both—and she does it with a unique lens shaped by her background in leadership, advocacy, and systems-building. She understands not only how to help women grow their businesses but also how to position them as leaders, negotiators, and legacy-builders in industries that often undervalue their contributions. Her clients describe her as both visionary and practical: someone who can inspire them to dream bigger while also giving them the exact steps to make those dreams real. Community & Leadership Alicia is more than a coach—she is a connector. She has served as President of the NAMI Durham Board and the NAMI North Carolina Presidents’ Council, where she championed equity, resilience, and access. She continues to bring that same spirit of advocacy into her coaching, ensuring that women entrepreneurs are not only building businesses but also building movements that shift culture. Her Mission Alicia’s mission is bold yet simple: to help women prosper—without apology. She believes that when women own their brilliance, package their expertise, and unapologetically claim their value, they don’t just grow businesses—they change families, communities, and industries. Through Empower & Prosper, Alicia is creating a ripple effect: women who scale their businesses, build wealth, and leave legacies that outlive them. Signature Message When women work with Alicia, they don’t just learn how to make money. They learn how to stand in their power, negotiate from strength, and design businesses that reflect their brilliance. They learn how to prosper without apology. And in doing so, they create movements that inspire the next generation.
"Alicia has awakened my business mindset and helped me overcome challenges that stood in the way of my success. I hired two team members and increased my business's capacity to take on more work. I gained a clearer understanding of my numbers so that I can better predict and increase my revenue. I became more intentional about my marketing in an effort to bring in the business that pays best. Alicia didn't give canned advice. She encouraged me to envision the life I want and reverse-engineer it. She gave me tailored guidance based on my existing business model rather than trying to overhaul my whole business. It was a pleasure working with Alicia. She was supportive throughout the entire process and always kept me dialed in and on task. This coaching experience, broadened my dreams and helped me realize my full potential."
