About me

My name is Mollie Ducoste, founder and principal consultant at Mollie Rose Consulting. I specialize in creative strategy for community-based nonprofits, leaders, and artists who are looking for vision clarity, messaging support, and resource development to grow and sustain Black Power.

For over a decade, I’ve served grassroots nonprofits and leadership. It has been my honor to advance Black thought in spaces that include women’s reentry, survivor support, civic participation, and grassroots organizing and power building. My work supports organizations as they move from catalytic ideas to clear, fundable, community-rooted strategies.

I hold a B.S. and M.A. in Criminal Justice, and I’m currently pursuing my MBA at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business, focusing on strategic leadership for mission-driven organizations.

I’m also a classically trained violinist, producer, and teaching artist. In my over 20 years of performance and community-based music education, I’ve taught and created in public schools, juvenile facilities, reentry and diversion programs, and jazz stages. My creative work is grounded in Black artistic traditions and the belief that our art is a mirror, a weapon, and distinctly ours.

At the center of all my work is a commitment to creative Black ownership. I believe that we as Black people should own our ideas and define our narratives and solutions. Mollie Rose Consulting exists to serve that purpose with clarity and reverence.
