Opera For Us
cultivating melanated opera lovers through song, storytelling, and education.
Opera For Us, a groundbreaking nonprofit founded by opera singer Denise Battle, was created to break barriers by educating and exposing black and brown communities to opera as an enjoyable art form, storytelling avenue, and inclusive means of expression, beyond its portrayal as an exclusive experience in the arts industry.

Vision Expansion & Integrative Strategy: Helped the founder step beyond a single narrative of her business, combining her artistry with untapped skills and lived experiences to reimagine new pathways for impact, expression, and scale.
Offerings Development & Revenue Diversification: Identified creative intersections where Opera For Us could expand its programming and value proposition — setting the stage for diversified offerings, expanded customer segments, broader audience engagement, and sustainable growth.
"Destini brings perspective on another level for me and my business. Sometimes as entrepreneurs we get stuck on just one way of thinking or looking at things and don’t realize how that can be limiting for one’s vision. Destini helped me see not only the vision of my business, but how I can combine that with other strong skill sets, talents and experiences I have to expand our offerings and diversify our revenue sources."
