Our Journey
Not having the resources, the finances or connections in life to help elevate success is common in a lot of low to middle income communities. In order to help people and the communities they live in flourish we cannot be selfish with our knowledge and resources. We must share, educate and serve.
Dreams To Founder was founded in Philadelphia by Khalia Deborah in August of 2019. This organization started with 1 workshop filled with 50 women wanting to grow in the areas of life, business and faith. After the first workshop, our podcast launched on most streaming avenues and our audience grew from serving woman to serving people across different genders, races, background and more! Our goal then, that stills stands today, is to build better leaders within our communities by providing equal access to resources, knowledge and opportunities. Greater change can come to the communities around us if we invest more into the PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITIES. It is not always up to the politicians and wealthy people that work on the 50th floor. It is up to those people right in the community to help our communities flourish and in turn change the trajectory of people’s lives!
Instead of only providing access to free STUFF and giveaways, we are investing in teaching the people of communities and coaching them on what they can do right where they are to further themselves, their families and their communities.
We believe that life betterment is not solely dependent on external factors. It starts with YOU. It starts with you, right where you are, right now. Dreams To Founder is here to help guide and direct communities in the areas of life coaching, business coaching, creative and innovative thinking and spiritual guidance! We are committed to building better communities by investing in our people!

Khalia Deborah is a Certified Life and Transformational Coach, holding a B.S. in Business of Accounting & Finance, and the mother of two amazing little boys. She is the Founder of Khalia Deborah Consulting, as well as, the Dreams To Founder non-profit organization! Through 1 on 1 and group coaching, Mentorship, Workshops, Conferences, E-learning, podcasting & empowering speaking, she uses her life, and what she has learned and acquired to empower and challenge others to step into a greater realm of their lives! Khalia not only coaches people on how to build up a successful business and brand, but she coaches them to have the confidence, courage, skills, and qualities of a leader that will positively impact not only their lives but the community and people they serve. Khalia Deborah is here to help shift mindsets, cultivate valuable relationships & build better leaders that will impact this world in the greatest way possible! She mentors college students and serves as a reliable resource and advocate for them. She believes that if we invest in coaching people through the social, emotional, and personal challenges and obstacles they may face through their life and give them some real-life resources they need in addition to education, we can help build greater leaders, business owners, mothers, fathers and ultimately change the world around us!
The process of taking your hopes and wishes, making goals out of them, and ultimately living in the reality of your dreams can be overwhelming and seem downright impossible at times. Being a mother of two, dealing with some consequences of decisions she has made, and having this enormous vision to help people all over the world just made everything seem so out of reach! Khalia’s own goals and dreams were stuck as just a thought in her mind, stuck as hopes and wishes for a very long time before she attacked them with confident action! Once she finally built enough courage to start taking the steps to change the direction of her life, people started to ask her HOW! People wanted to apply Khalia's actions to their own life and business. She could not fathom why people wanted her opinion. She would spend time mentally running down the list of all her failures and thinking of so many people that were better qualified to give their opinion than her. Khalia was afraid that her opinions would fail the people asking. She did not have trust or confidence in herself and what she was truly capable of. However….KHALIA ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS ANYWAY! It was not apparent right away but as time went on and as she stepped out (even though she had some fear attached to her), Khalia realized that all her answers were helping people succeed! Her opinions mattered and were changing areas of people’s lives. Moreover, all those failures that stayed at the forefront of her mind that she was so ashamed of, were the same lessons that she had to learn so that she could pour the wisdom into the lives of others. The hopes that her lessons will become someone else’s treasure and the thing that changes the whole direction of their life (or at least a portion of it) is why she leads the life, she does today!

“Khalia was the perfect companion I needed to start my business. She was a consistent source of creativity, encouragement, and prioritization. One thing I learned early one in working with Khalia is that she does her research!
