“Working with Paulina O’Kieffe at Creative Compass Solutions has been exceptional. She brings a rare combination of skill, heart, and reliability to the grant-writing process. Her expertise shows in the way she anticipates needs, offers clear guidance, and consistently finds opportunities that truly fit. What stands out most is her genuine warmth and dedication; she goes beyond expectations, makes the work feel effortless, and leaves you more informed each time. Anyone seeking a grant writer who is both highly capable and deeply supportive will find exactly that in Paulina. I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned through working with her.”

"Working with Paulina was an absolute privilege. From commissioning her piece through to presentation and follow-up, I was deeply grateful for the experience. She brought heart, clarity, and a beautiful reflection of our work that resonated far beyond the moment it was shared. Inviting Paulina into our staff meeting was especially meaningful. Her insight, authenticity, and transparent guidance allowed us not only to hear her words but to feel them. It affirmed our mission, uplifted our team, and strengthened what our Executive Director and host were already bringing to our annual IMPACT gala— the personal, community, and cultural connections that shape who we are."

"Paulina has been an invaluable contributor to Black Moms Connection’s financial literacy programming. As a long-standing speaker in our Masterclass series, more recently in our National Program, and a featured guest speaker at this year’s In The Black + FinLit U Kids Financial Literacy Summit, she consistently delivers sessions that are deeply impactful and exceptionally well-received by our community. Many attendees finish her sessions feeling empowered, informed, and motivated to take action on their investment journeys. We are grateful for her ongoing partnership and for the meaningful impact she continues to make in helping families build financial confidence and generational wealth."
