Mariama Whyte

I have been performing professionally on different stages for the last 20 years. From Broadway tours of The Lion King and The Color Purple, to regional theatre and music stages, as well as speaking and teaching at schools and special events where I have been invited to share my expertise and experiences. I enjoy it all. 

Over the years, people have asked me where did I get my confidence to be on so many different stages. But what a lot of people don’t know is that I didn’t always feel so confident. I used to be afraid of speaking in what felt like high pressure situations, like a presentation, an audition, or even small group classes or sessions. Developing myself as a performer and tapping into my creativity was what helped me to build my confidence to show up, and communicate effectively and be present and authentic in any situation, on any stage.

I realize that you, no matter what your profession, want to be able to show up and present yourself with assurance and confidence, but haven't had the support and tools to practice your skills. This is why I decided to develop a new program. I not only know firsthand the feeling of wanting to overcome my own roadblocks in communication and eventually finding my own solution, but I love to be in a position to support and guide others to become more present and confident in how they show up for themselves and the world. 

I'm excited to offer to you my new virtual group coaching program, “Showing Up: Speaking with Confidence and Presence." It's a six week program from September 13th - October 25th and will consist of 6-8 people. You will have a safe, creative space to practice showing up by implementing performance and personal development tools and techniques I will provide. 

If you have been feeling like you want to show up with more presence, authenticity and impact in your communication, this is the program for you. Whether you speak in front of 10 people or 100 hundred or more, in person or virtual, I’d love to guide you to become and experience yourself as the confident and powerful person you truly are.

I'm looking forward to supporting you!
