Christine Michel Carter knows what it’s like to battle ageism, racism, and sexism in the workplace. She knows what it’s like to work long hours, lead teams without management titles, and get paid less than male colleagues. She even knows what it’s like to interview while pregnant and pump in a bathroom stall.
It’s unfair, and it needs to stop.
Christine gets revenge as a protector and fighter for ignored women all over the world. She works to advance policies on a range of issues that affect families and women in mental and emotional health spaces. She is an advisory board member of Mom Congress and received a Congressional Citation from the U.S. Senate for going “above and beyond in ensuring that Black Moms and Moms of Color have access to important health information for their children and families.”
Because of her bold, disruptive delivery, Christine’s been called the “mother of LinkedIn” by the New York Post. She’s also been named a “career doula,” a “working mom who’s changing the world,” an “inspiring black mom to follow,” a “mom on the move,” an “inspiring, empowering millennial mother,” and the “voice of millennial moms.”
She also serves on SeekHer Foundation’s Advocacy Council to support the PepsiCo Pure Leaf “No” Grants program, which has awarded female grant winners $200,000 to close their earning wage gaps. Christine Michel Carter provides 1:1 online career coaching via Wizco, Mother Honestly, or Women in Negotiation (WIN), subscription-based working parent and caregiver support, and marketing strategy development for small businesses.
đź’Ľ For Business

Christine creates valuable, relevant, and consistent content to attract and retain your clearly defined audience — and, ultimately, to drive profitable action.
Nearly 1/3 of new working moms would like expert help from HR teams to support their professional advancement in the form of coaches. Christine helps working parents in their specific caregiving stage, so they can still do work that matters and honor this season of their lives.Â
Christine helps companies adjust the physical office to speak to women. This includes space for privacy, areas for breast-pumping and feeding, and family support.
