Denzel Herrera-Davis




Denzel Herrera-Davis is a life coach, consultant, and creator living in Oakland, CA. He is the founder of Create The Space, a novel organization with a mission to bring mental health and wellness to the forefront of awareness
and access for people of color. 

Through Create The Space, Denzel has built a developmental wellness program that promotes healing, embraces healthy relationships, and challenges traditional notions of masculinity for men of color through shared vulnerability in community workshops and events.

Throughout his career in the health and wellness industries, he has served as a business strategy consultant for companies such as Johnson & Johnson, WeightWatchers, and Ryder. He has also held senior leadership positions in operations and project management at burgeoning startups like Rinse, Inc.

Ultimately, Denzel hopes to spread his vision of community healing through shared vulnerability and increased access to mental healthcare coverage. He is looking for men who want to take part in being the solution to their own mental wellbeing; organizations that believe in and support the safety and developmental growth of their employees; healthcare and insurance organizations that want to change the landscape of mental health programs and coverage.
