Description:
Together, Holmes and Sinkeler transform dialogue into scholarship. What began as private conversations between two Black women navigating questions of health, sovereignty, and belonging evolved into a research-informed body of work that now anchors the Elevated Liberation(TM) series. Their co-authored approach models rigorous inquiry shaped by friendship, critical analysis, and global imagination.
In Black Women Beyond Borders, they invite readers into a deeper conversation about what it means to design lives aligned with dignity, wellness, and power across borders
Brief description: Annie P. E. Holmes (United States) is a global strategist, scholar, and architect of the Elevated Liberation(TM) philosophy, a framework that positions safety, wellness, and sovereign power as intentional design choices rather than distant aspirations. With more than two decades of leadership across nonprofit, public, and global development sectors, Holmes is known for translating lived experience into structured systems that advance health sovereignty, economic agency, and geographic freedom for Black women. Her work bridges scholarship, policy analysis, and narrative inquiry, centering the belief that liberation is both personal and structural.
