Hello
My name is Blake Hill-Saya.
Verbal branding muse, author, executive writing coach, and founder of Tenacity Communications.
About me
I get people out of their heads and into their words. Words are powerful when they tell the world clearly and authentically who you are and what you do. My executive coaching clients are doctors, coders, engineers, financial planners, lawyers, solo entrepreneurs, musicians, CEOs, wellness centers, tech startups and non-profit organizations. I have put nearly every profession into words in my "verbal branding muse" capacity with a clientele that is delightfully diverse and international. My background in classical music
and the performing arts informs my ability to collaborate, edit on the fly, and improvise in real time. My book, published in 2020 by
the UNC Press is a historical biography of my great great grandfather, a pioneering Black physician at the turn of the 20th Century.
As a white appearing biracial (Black /white) cishet woman (she/her) I respect and live in the land of personal nuance. I have come to understand that my story is an asset to me and to my colleagues no matter where I might be working. The profound gifts inherent in each unique lived experience can be extraordinary catalysts for connection, and connection is what good business
is built on. Well chosen words can be a road map to abundance. So let's choose them, and use them!
My Services
Tenacity Communications offers writing services that can define or enhance any goal, occasion or project.
Verbal Branding Makeover
The 30 minute Verbal Branding Makeover works best if you already have some ideas and need to brainstorm your way to a better, more concise, more authentic final draft. We chat, I type, we post our ideas in the chat, and in 30 minutes you will have a statement that will take you wherever you want to go. I can also coach you on blog topics, corporate bios, web copy and presentations. These sessions are 30 min/$85. Packages are available and negotiable. Click below to schedule!
Coaching, writing projects or workshops
I am available for online verbal branding packages, corporate bio and Linkedin writing, website copy, mission statement drafting, team building or project defining, tailor made writing workshops or presentations. I can also create writing prompts or journaling practices to enhance your corporate retreat, or to accompany a themed event, I have even written wedding ceremonies!

"I know nothing in the world that
has as much power as a word. Sometimes
I write one, and I gaze at it until it begins
to shine."
Emily Dickinson
