About Me

Hello!
I'm Stacie


Dr Stacie CC Graham (pronoun: she) is a management consultant, executive coach,
founder, speaker and writer.

Her work has appeared across leading digital and print outlets, including BBC, Essence, HuffPost, i‑D, and Refinery29.

In her first profession as a management consultant, she partners with companies, teams, and leaders to help them reach their fullest potential while delivering positive, measurable social impact. She is also the founder of OYA: Body‑Mind‑Spirit Retreats, a holistic wellness brand created for underrepresented communities often overlooked by the mainstream wellness industry. Previously, she launched Colour Balance Images, a digital media platform empowering creative communities across the Global South to tell their own stories through culturally grounded images and footage for media and advertising.

With an MS in economics, a PhD in psychology, and lived experience across multiple continents, she brings a nuanced understanding of human motivation and behaviour — all delivered with the depth, curiosity, and the intensity you'd expect from a true Scorpio.

Yoga as Resistance:
Equity and Inclusion On and Off the Mat
Available to buy

The majority of teachers in North America and Europe are white, able-bodied and cisgender. What does that signal to people differently identified about their place in yoga? This book will inspire and welcome all to take part in questioning the status quo and learn how to move toward equity, and why it matters. The book is structured around the Sanskrit roots of yoga: TAPAS, AHIMSA, ASTEYA, SATYA. The meanings are explored in alignment with the social justice work presented. Each chapter closes with a yoga or meditation practice or journaling activity, to embody deeper understanding and work through any discomfort and issues that may arise. Diversity and inclusion within the wellness industry has been increasingly under the spotlight. This book responds to the appetite for guidance on how we actively create change. The mission of Yoga as Resistance is to educate and empower yoga practitioners and professionals to take action in aligning their practice on the mat with their lives off the mat.
