a message from Dr. Linette Montae
Profitability Strategist & Legacy Influencer® for women CEOs & Founders
Growing up during a time when women were barely seen and absolutely not heard… my outspoken wisdom was hushed on a daily basis.
By the time I left for college at 16-years-old, society’s message regarding a woman’s value was crystal clear… and in response, I “lowered my voice” and “dimmed my value”.
Throughout the subsequent 5 years as an employee and 35 years as an entrepreneur, I consistently witnessed…
- women leaders passed over for promotions given to a less qualified colleague;
- women-owned businesses overshadowed by competition with a lesser quality product or service; and
- ownership of women’s thought-leader brilliance assumed by a less credible person.
Then, in 2020, I was shaken by the realization that the bias I experienced was based on gender and race.
Today, 4 things fuel my passion:
- Legacy. The thought that your purpose may remain unlived, unheard, and unfulfilled.
- Authority. The thought that your voice isn’t positioned to deliver the impact you desire.
- Mastery. The thought that you’re sacrificing happiness for society’s definition of success.
- Profitability. The thought that your wealth doesn’t align with your brilliance.
Although, I didn’t realize until several years in… Profitable Empires™ is more than a business for me.
Redefining the rules is my purpose. Transforming the present and impacting the future is my legacy!
it’s about becoming the trusted voice that influences decisions and fosters loyal relationships.

Trusted Perspective Advisor & Personal Brand Strategiest for Multicultural HNWI/UHNWI
Growing up amidst people of diverse cultural backgrounds, and having been fortunate to learn from extraordinary individuals whose experiences have profoundly shaped my life, I intimately understand how lack of representation and opportunity kills potential.
Perspective and context form integral parts of every underdog’s story, and I am passionate about crafting messaging that is authentic, inclusive, culturally relevant, and inspiring—empowering individuals to achieve against all odds.
I truly believe in the adage “What you see you become.”
Positioning multicultural thought-leaders is bigger than financial profit, it’s about investing in a future that embraces diversity, fuels success, and embracing the responsibility to leave an indelible mark on generations to come.
Profitable Authority™ and interculturalism hold immense significance for me.
My purpose lies in harnessing my influence for positive change and empowering others to elevate their game.
