IN THE BEGINNING

She checked every box. Then the boxes stopped being enough.

Dr. Lorneka is a Forbes-featured keynote speaker, workplace wellness consultant, and Doctor of Pharmacy whose work has reached leaders and organizations across four countries and more than 100 events worldwide — from Ivy League institutions and Fortune 500 companies to nonprofits and government agencies.

She worked for the credentials, won the awards, and showed up for her community. Then her mother and grandmother died two years apart, and the titles couldn't fill what grief had emptied.

That loss became a redirection. She turned to faith, personal growth, and the science of wellness — not as a last resort, but as a prescription. What she discovered changed how she works, how she leads, and ultimately, what she built.

Brightly Awake exists because working professionals deserve more than lunch breaks and burnout recovery. They deserve a framework for working well while they win.

She is the author of Working Well, an Amazon Top New Release. A mental health educator. Featured in Forbes, Essence, Comcast TV, and Voyage Miami. Miami Dade College 2016 Alumni Hall of Fame Inductee. Allen Entrepreneurial Institute Awardee.

An advocate of community, Dr. Lorneka serves as a leader at her local church in Orlando, Florida. She leads from this conviction: doing well and being well are not in competition.
