Bee Bonner
Transformation Consultant, Author, & Conversationalist
I help people and organizations navigate transformation with clarity, strategy, and intention. As a transformation consultant, author, and conversationalist, I use real-world experience, strategic insight, and candid conversation to help women navigating career growth, organizations experiencing change, and entrepreneurs building with purpose move toward their desired destination with confidence and direction.
As a Detroit native, I understand transformation firsthand—what it means to rebuild, adapt, and move forward with purpose. That perspective shapes the way I lead, communicate, and support growth in both people and organizations.
I hold an MBA from Wayne State University and am a certified Project Management Institute Project Management Professional (PMP), with advanced training in strategy, digital intelligence, and business continuity.
My work spans organizational transformation, people and culture development, purpose-driven project leadership, and curated professional and private events. Whether I’m leading conversations, guiding strategy, or helping organizations rethink what’s possible, my focus remains the same: helping people recognize their capabilities and take intentional steps toward growth.
I believe transformation doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through intentional decisions, honest reflection, and the courage to move differently.
My approach blends lived experience with proven frameworks to create meaningful, sustainable change. I believe growth should be practical, relatable, and rooted in action—helping people move from ideas and intention to real progress.
My goal is simple: help people transform with intention and move forward with confidence.
Thoughtfully, Bee

If someone asked me what a successful transformation looks like, I would say it is being authentically confident in your identity while also being open to and excited about your continued evolution.
Books By Bee
That same commitment to intentional growth inspired my first book, Destination, Transformation.
In this powerful and deeply personal debut, I share my journey from Detroit bartender to corporate professional and entrepreneur—offering an honest reflection on resilience, reinvention, and the challenges many women face while navigating personal and professional growth.
More than a memoir, Destination, Transformation is a story about becoming. It’s about recognizing your potential, pushing beyond limitations, and making intentional decisions that move you closer to the life you truly desire.
As the first installment of a transformational trilogy, the book was written to encourage women to reflect, grow, and evolve into the version of themselves capable of achieving their biggest dreams.
If you’re navigating change, rediscovering your purpose, or stepping into a new season of growth, this book was written with you in mind.

Words From Those I’ve Worked With
I’ve had the pleasure of working with Bernice for over four years, most notably through our collaboration on the Detroit Diaspora Day Fest, where she has served as a lead coordinating partner. Bernice brings a rare blend of creative vision and fiscal discipline to event production, consistently thinking beyond the expected while keeping projects grounded and efficient. She is dependable, solutions-oriented, and genuinely easy to work with—an asset to any production team.
Bernice is a talented multi faceted individual with a keen sense of what it takes to improve any operation. Bernice is adept at communicating detailed technical information into easily understandable terms and is a pleasure to work with.
She has been a pleasure to work with; bringing a high-level of professionalism and dedication to every project. Her communication skills are excellent, and she is next-level in her ability to lead transformation because of her critical and analytical skills. I would be happy to have her on any project of mine in the future.
I highly recommend Bernice for her exceptional talent, strategic mindset, and relentless initiative. During our time working together, Bernice has consistently demonstrated a unique ability to bridge the gap between high-level strategy and tactical execution. She possesses a keen understanding of how individual initiatives align with broader project goals, ensuring that every task contributes to the overall success of the mission.”
Working with Retreat Your Trauma was a truly meaningful experience for me. I had a great time connecting in genuine fellowship, hearing powerful personal testimonies, and having a safe space to share my own experiences. It was uplifting, healing, and reminded me how impactful community and shared stories can be.
I had the opportunity to watch and learn from Bernice while working under her for just over two years. From the start, Bernice was able to come into an ambiguous environment, assess what needed to be tackled and got straight to work creating structure, alignment and focus to her team. In addition to being a valued leader, I can attest to Bernice being a person of integrity who always promoted open communication and collaboration.
My Events
Being a project manager by skill and a creative at heart, I’ve always found joy in bringing people together and creating spaces where connection can happen naturally. From the earliest spark of an idea to the final execution, I approach every event with intention, strategy, and creativity—whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale experience.
Curating events allows me to merge structure with storytelling, blending thoughtful planning, meaningful details, and authentic conversation to create experiences that truly resonate with people.
For me, event curation is more than coordination—it’s about creating moments people remember, conversations that inspire, and environments that make people feel connected, seen, and engaged.
Every experience I create is rooted in purpose, precision, and a genuine passion for fostering meaningful human connection.
