Welcome to Sienna & Slate

Sienna and Slate is more than programs or products. This is a space for people who are ready to move beyond burnout and reconnect with what matters most. We believe your story, your rhythm, and your well-being deserve as much care as your ambition. If you've been feeling stretched thin, blocked, or out of alignment with what truly matters, you're not alone. Through courses, coaching, and curated tools we help you reclaim your time, creativity, and well-being - without losing yourself in the process.

Why Sienna & Slate?

The name itself reflects the vision; Sienna, from the color of clay, symbolizing the means of conveying a story through creativity, expression, and grounding. Slate, a stone representing resilience, permanence, and rewriting narratives on a blank slate.

  • We understand how difficult, lonely, transformative, awesome, and exhilarating the creative journey can be.
  • We understand the joys and challenges that come from being on the creative journey.
  • We are dedicated to curate products and spaces where people can rediscover their passion, balance productivity with self-care, and thrive in both their professional and personal lives.
  • Whether you’re a scholar, writer, leader, artist, or anything in between we craft meaningful products to help you think deeply, work intentionally, and live with balance.

Keondria McClish-Boyd is an author, educator, and entrepreneur.

Her journey has led her to focus on her most recent work, Endarkened Narrative Inquiry, and create Sienna and Slate, a reflective space for the ambitious, nearly burned-out, and wildly creative to slow down, reconnect, and work in rhythm with their genius.
