SHM Program Director:

Krystal McLeod, J.D.

Krystal McLeod, J.D.  is a rising soultrepreneur on a mission of self-liberation and actualization. A natural innovator, change agent, creator, artist, writer, content producer,  and advocate - Krystal’s identity evolves constantly (and she revels in this spirit-led evolution).

A proud Notre Dame Law School graduate 21’ and NYU graduate 16’ , she is passionate about connecting her interest in mediumship and her appreciation and reverence for her ancestral lineage with her commitment to social justice and self-rediscovery. A Dalai Lama Fellow, Truman Scholar, Compassionate Leadership Fellow, and Senior Humanity in Action Fellow - her work is spirit-led,  intersectional, anti-racist and rooted in womanist thought.

A proud black feminist, Krystal is a Co-founder of Vanity's Truh LLC, an organization created by dynamic black women focused on raising the collective consciousness of The People through mediums that feed the mind, body, and soul.  She uses her experience with spiritually-focused organizations like Radiance Magazine, her work as a former White House Intern, her work with national nonprofits, NGOs, the UN Department of Public Information (DPI), and her education at NYU and Notre Dame Law school to help challenge and refine her value system.

Krystal believes our social justice is a reflection of the Self. Accordingly, she subscribes to the notion that our work, as a direct outpouring of the Self, can only be as whole as we are. Guided by this belief, Krystal continues to do the hard work each and every day to own her own biases, admit her mistakes and missteps, and hold herself accountable. 

She now resides in Brooklyn, New York with her Divine Partner, Kevin and their beautiful pup, Charles. She enjoys meditating daily, running several days a week, and dancing with Charlie to reggae dancehall tunes. Krystal is a work-in-progress and happily identifies this way. She hopes to continue growing and remains open to life's endless possibilities.
