Accountability with Care
A place to work, think, ask, and move forward—in community
Accountability With Care is a care-centered coworking community for scholars, educators, creatives, and professionals navigating meaningful work. Members arrive with dissertations, manuscripts, research, applications, lesson plans, creative projects, administrative tasks—or simply the thing they have been struggling to begin.
Founded in 2020 as Writing Accountability, the community has grown into a sustained practice of accountability without abandonment—honoring both what people are working toward and the people doing the work.
Includes:
Protected time to focus and make progress
Gentle accountability and reflection
Research and writing questions worked through in community
Shared resources, opportunities, and collective knowledge
Space to think through challenges and identify next steps
Encouragement and celebration through the difficult stretches of the work
Connection with people who understand that how we move matters alongside what we accomplish
Working & Wining
Working & Wining is a virtual writing + wellness retreat primarily for Black femmes and women creating intentional space to write, rest, reflect, and move meaningful work forward in community. The retreat holds focused work and restoration alongside one another, recognizing that sustainable progress requires space for both.
Working & Wining is designed around the belief that rest and care do not have to wait until the work is finished. Each retreat creates room for participants to tend to themselves while tending to the work that matters to them.
Includes:
Protected writing and focused work time
Wellness practices woven throughout the retreat
Guided reflection and intention-setting
Opportunities to pause, rest, and reset
Community conversations and shared learning
Space to celebrate progress without measuring worth by productivity
Connection with others navigating meaningful scholarly, creative, and professional work
Research, Writing & Dissertation Support
Sometimes moving forward means having someone think alongside you.
Research, Writing & Dissertation Support offers individualized, relationship-centered support for scholars navigating research, academic writing, dissertations, and the many decisions that accompany meaningful scholarly work. Support begins with where you are—not where someone assumes you should be.
The goal is not to take ownership of your work or prescribe a single path forward. It is to provide thought partnership, practical support, and space to see your work more clearly, make informed decisions, and move forward in ways that remain your own.
Support might include:
Clarifying research ideas, questions, and next steps
Thinking through research design and methodological decisions
Developmental feedback on chapters, manuscripts, proposals, and other scholarly writing
Working through advisor, committee, reviewer, or collaborator feedback
Preparing for milestones, presentations, and scholarly conversations
Creating realistic research and writing plans
Breaking complex or overwhelming work into manageable next steps
Getting unstuck when the challenge is not simply “write more”
Identifying resources, strategies, and questions to carry back into your own work
Accountability and continued support as the work develops
Workshops and Partnerships
Let’s create something responsive to the people it is meant to serve.
At the Pace of Love™ partners with universities, organizations, programs, and communities to design care-centered learning experiences responsive to their people, purpose, and context. Rather than beginning with a one-size-fits-all offering, partnerships can begin with a conversation about what your community is navigating and what meaningful support might look like.
Offerings draw from Dr. Flemming’s experience across science education, research, curriculum development, facilitation, mentoring, program development, and community-building to create experiences with enough structure to move toward a purpose and enough flexibility to respond to the people in the room.
Collaborations might include:
Interactive workshops and professional development
Research and academic writing development
Dissertation and thesis planning
Research design and methodological thinking
Writing retreats and focused work experiences
Accountability and coworking communities
Scholar development and mentoring experiences
Facilitation and community-building
Customized programs and learning experiences
Retreats and wellness-centered programming
