you are not a small star...
...you are a reflection of the entire cosmos
Bijou Collective was founded by Safa Bee Wesley and supported by a global team.
Our intention is to create a container of service and growth that is both progressive as well as grounded in the wisdom of our ancestors, with the goal of supporting all who contribute to the collective evolution of humanity.
Cumulatively, our team has walked their way through the traditional marketing, entertainment, coaching and business worlds, only to find that the mainstream practices of these industries are deeply misaligned with the values we hold dear and true.
Bijou Collective is our answer to these experiences: both through our careful selectivity in the clients, projects and community offerings we choose to support, as well as through our own thoughtfully crafted business structure and policies, we are promoting the values we wish to see taking root in the world.
we are raising up leaders who are globally minded and locally rooted
Backed by a (com)passionate team of professionals, we provide community resources, comprehensive strategy development and project execution for progressive changemakers.
We help our private clients tell their stories and make their impact through guided mythologizing, heart-based branding, intuitive systems design, and authentic conversation – building businesses that champion equity, fairness and timeless wisdom in the modern marketplace.
All Bijou Collective's programs and services are designed to ignite your creative spark and encourage you to rise up inspired, nourished, and ready to step into your role as a leader in the progressive economy.
