Mentor-Mentee Executive Spotlight


Wendy Anderson
Founder and Director of NaSiHa Consulting Incorporated

 

Founder and Director of NaSiHa Consulting Incorporated, Wendy D. Anderson exudes experience from the realms of management, marketing, event production and organizational planning. Her pioneering spirit and drive to succeed combined with her love for music, film, and people in general will allow her to soar to great heights. Born in Queens, New York Wendy spent her early developmental years in Jamaica, West Indies, she then moved back to the United States to Montclair, New Jersey. Wendy is a graduate of Florida A&M University. Some might say her entry into the entertainment industry was accidental. While in college Wendy came across an interview of Lauryn Hill talking about her non-profit organization, The Refugee Project. In the interview Lauryn went on to explain that through her travels she found that what distinguishes one child from another is not ability, but access; access to opportunity, love and education. Wendy was instantly inspired and motivated to make an input. She immediately went to her computer and found out all she could about the organization and its programs. That inspiration gave her the idea to establish similar programs within her community as well as create new ones. Lead by the passion to create positive change, she somehow got the direct number for the organization and spoke with its director at the time, Raqiba Sealy. Shortly after speaking with Raqiba and sending out a proposal, Wendy found herself living out her dreams. Wendy not only cultivated a relationship with members of the organization but also developed several programs. Wendy is deeply loyal, committed and determined to complete any task to the end. This is evident in her rapid rise to Director of the organization. Wendy started out first as a volunteer, then Program Director, Project Manager and finally as a Consulting Director.

 

Inspired by the Hill family, particularly, Lauryn’s mother Valerie Hill, Wendy started her own consulting company. After being exposed to the music business aspect of Lauryn Hill’s life, she pursued the industry and went back to school getting a certification in Music Business and Artist Management from the Omega Studio’s School of Recording Arts and Sciences.

 

To list all her projects, dreams, plans and accomplishments would be an arduous task for the reader. Wendy has sculpted herself through habit and action and is guided by a philosophy that she must justify her existence. Blessed with the talents of motivation and leadership, Wendy has steered the creation of several projects and programs and has consulted and worked with such companies/organizations as the Boys and Girls Club, Third Eye Multimedia, Courvoisier, NAMIC/BET, and Lauryn Hill, just to name a few. Wendy’s business acumen has been sharpened and refined through her directorship of the Refugee Project and her consultantcy firm. Her quiet determination and intense focus allow her to juggle several projects and complete each one with finesse and polish. Involved in the development and shaping of a many national programs, projects and events, she has gained insight and experience in coordinating functions, conceiving innovations, creating publicity, communication tools and developing a network of contacts – all talents and attributes that can transfer easily into the sphere of the entertainment industry. And that combined with her faith in God allows her to commit her talents to her community and develop a healthy portfolio of diverse interest and service endeavors.
