Brand Story

Rosanna M. Salcedo is a coach, consultant and visual artist who stands at the intersection of art, leadership, and healing. A first-generation Latina of Dominican heritage, Rosanna’s life and work are rooted in resilience. She has lived through cancer, divorce, and the heartbreaking loss of her son—and transformed each experience into a source of strength, wisdom, and beauty.

After more than two decades as an educator and equity-focused school leader, she now devotes her life to helping women reconnect to their inner wisdom and reclaim their stories. Through her art practice (Rosanna Maria Studio), her coaching and retreats (Spirit, Sand & Sea), and her forthcoming book (Leading Bravely), Rosanna invites women to turn adversity into agency—to integrate grief, courage, and creativity as sources of power and purpose.

Her work centers on a simple but profound belief: that the parts of us we once hid or grieved can become our greatest teachers. The lotus, her signature symbol, represents this truth—rooted in mud, rising toward light. Whether through color and texture on canvas, words on a page, or conversations in community, Rosanna creates spaces where women can heal, lead, and live bravely.

At the meeting place of Spirit, Sand & Sea, she offers not just inspiration, but a lived roadmap for transformation—where resilience becomes art, and healing becomes leadership.
