Reclaiming
Black Girl Magic.

She is a lifelong student of resilience. Her journey has been shaped by experiences of both profound challenge and deep grace. From her years at West Point, to surviving a near-fatal accident that transformed her understanding of purpose, to decades of accompanying individuals and communities through healing and growth, and her most recent journey as an end-of-life caregiver to her siblings and parents—she has personally embodied real-time resilience as a lifelong practice.

As a psychiatrist and healthcare system change agent, Glenda has worked at the intersection of mental health, equity, leadership, and human flourishing. Whether serving veterans, strengthening communities, or leading innovative behavioral health initiatives, she is guided by a belief that healing begins when people reconnect with their inherent worth, wisdom, and capacity for transformation.

As a facilitator, Glenda creates space for honest reflection, courageous conversation, and embodied spiritual grounding. Informed by the evidence-based science of human flourishing and rooted in her lived experience, she is a master in the art of helping others cultivate resilience, live with intention, and align their lives with what matters most. She lives in Georgia with her husband and four children where she finds joy and renewal in faith, family, community, and service.

Myra's career has taken her through military leadership, engineering, entrepreneurship, education, and community building. Each chapter has offered a different perspective on how people lead, adapt, create, and find meaning. She publishes and creates content under the name Mirah Pittman. This name is a deliberate reclamation of her ancestral lineages and reflects her journey of identity and belonging.

Myra graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in Aerospace Mechanical Engineering and served as an Army Air Defense Artillery Officer before transitioning into entrepreneurship and coaching. She holds the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation alongside her ChFC® and CLF® credentials, and she has spent decades building businesses and communities rooted in service, education, and human development.

Her work has always lived at the intersection of the practical and the profound. As a financial planner, she helps people build wealth and security. As an educator, she has helped build community spaces where people come to grow, heal, and find each other. As a storyteller, she asks questions about the lives we inherit and explores topics about identity, belonging, generational patterns, ancestral wisdom, and what wholeness actually looks like.

Her newest platform, The Curious Root, brings together every thread of that experience. Founded as a space for honest exploration of the whole human experience, The Curious Root produces essays, interviews, and the Curious Root Pod. This is where she brings together voices and perspectives across culture, healing, history, identity, and becoming. This work centers on a simple and powerful idea: certainty is rooted in our past; so, we seek clarity in the present and remain curious about the potential of what is becoming. Myra's work invites people into thoughtful curiosity to create space for different perspectives, experiences, and ideas to meet.

Myra is a lifelong learner and passionate advocate for inclusion, culture, and community. She believes some of the most meaningful conversations happen at the crossroads between generations, cultures, disciplines, and ways we experience the world. However, the question she finds most compelling: who are you becoming?

She is a 1997 West Point graduate (Systems Engineering), a fourth-generation Army veteran, and the founder of REIGN Leadership & Legacy Coaching™ — a sovereign coaching and formation ecosystem serving high-achieving executive women who are ready to lead from the inside out.

After five years of service as an Army officer and a decade rising to GS-15 leadership across the federal government — including the Office of Personnel Management and the General Services Administration — Rachel co-founded TIME Systems, LLC, an Inc. 5000 award-winning company specializing in cybersecurity operations and digital transformation for the defense industrial base. She currently serves as its Chief Growth Officer.

Rachel holds a Master of Divinity in Organizational Leadership from Regent University, a master's degree in Executive Coaching from Georgetown University, and is a Professional Certified Coach (PCC). She is the creator of the Crown Assessment™, a spirit-first, sovereign design leadership diagnostic, and the architect of the Diamond of Change™, a transformational leadership framework that integrates theology, leadership development, and change management.

Through REIGN, Rachel works at the intersection of executive strategy, spiritual formation, and sovereign identity — helping women leaders move beyond the performance of leadership into the inhabitation of it. Her work is rooted in the conviction that the internal architecture of a leader is the foundation of everything else.

Rachel resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and five children, including a West Point graduate and a senior at Old Dominion University. She is proud to return to this community as a facilitator and fellow daughter of the Long Gray Line.
