With the passing of my husband, Ossie Davis, my family and I were faced with how best to honor his legacy. How fortunate we were to have the vision, leadership, and direction of Ms. Sonya Denyse, the founder of an innovative organization, DreamDevelopment.

After a 4 year break from my Opera career, my first gig was a cover contract at the Metropolitan Opera, bringing me to NYC. After getting to know and respect her, we began discussing my desires, visions and goals at the time. My work with DreamDevelopment was not long-lived. It was a catalyst that helped crystallize my thoughts. Today my whole life has changed.

DreamDevelopment has taught me just that: to develop my dream, through thoughtfulness, timeliness & execution. I’ve had success before, but never vision. Sonya has helped me to see more of my vision than I have previously.

Sonya consistently strives to deliver innovative breakthrough solutions that are uniquely suited to her clients' needs. She combines the creative sensibility of an artist with the insight of a visionary. Sonya approaches client engagement as a student -- learning the strengths and development needs of her clients, then as a strategist -- consulting on solutions both creative and strategic, with support from planning to execution. Her ability to provide clarity in the midst of transition, ambiguity, and change while providing clients clear, actionable plans and execution is masterful.

After working in investment banking for 10 years, I was burned out. I felt like I got lost on the journey of my life. During my DreamDevelopment sessions, I realized that I had been trying to achieve something without knowing the importance of being myself. I was able to come back to the financial industry - running a hedge fund in Seoul, Korea without being exhausted. I expanded my hobbies into motorcycling, skiing, traveling, and music. Now my life has been more diverse and interesting than ever before.
