Founder | Coach & Consultant

Nara Muniz França, Ph.D.

For more than 30 years, my work has been rooted in education, empowerment, and social change—from teaching in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro to leading programs in San Diego. In every setting, my purpose has remained the same: to help people discover their power, connect with others, and shape the future they want to create.

As a consultant and coach, I bring that lifelong commitment to growth and belonging into my work with individuals, teams, and organizations. Through Next Flow Strategies, I support people and communities to move beyond self-doubt, embrace authenticity, and foster spaces of development and social justice.

  • Life Coaching – Supporting individuals to find clarity, balance, and alignment in moments of change.

    Leadership Coaching & Professional Development – Helping individuals and teams align values, confidence, and purpose through learning experiences that inspire reflection and lasting change.

    Program & Project Management – Turning ideas into measurable impact through clear structure, collaborative action, and shared accountability.

    Data-Informed Strategy – Using evidence and empathy to refine programs, guide decision-making, and amplify community impact.

    At the heart of my work is a simple belief: when people are supported to act with purpose, entire communities move forward.

VISION

Our vision is for members of
multi-cultural communities to feel seen, connected, and empowered to live authentically — creating spaces of belonging and social justice in their work, relationships, and communities.

VALUES

  •  We believe growth happens when we move with our flow, not against ourselves — embracing change as a natural part of becoming who we are meant to be.

  •  We honor the truth of each person’s story and create spaces where people from multi-cultural backgrounds can show up as their whole selves.

  • We find purpose in the joy of each moment — in its imperfection and its innumerous possibilities.

  •  We commit to equity and collective liberation — supporting individuals and teams to act with courage and compassion in creating fairer systems and empowered communities.

  •  We believe transformation is rooted in community — we grow stronger together through collaboration, shared learning, and mutual care.

Nara played an instrumental role in getting our Literacy Liberators program off the ground. She managed every step of the process with professionalism and care—processing applications, calling each candidate personally, and thoughtfully coordinating placements by problem-solving scheduling challenges as they arose. Her genuine connection with applicants during those calls helped set a positive tone that carried through the entire program. Nara also contributed meaningfully to the planning and facilitation of our training sessions. Her combination of organization, empathy, and initiative made her an indispensable part of a complex launch that required both precision and people skills.”
