She can be reached at atouchofclasstrf@gmail.com and her designs can be viewed on instagram.com/atouchofclasstrf.

The Psychology of Photo Organization with Rachel Arbuckle
Ever wonder why those old snapshots evoke such strong emotions, or why decluttering your digital albums can feel so therapeutic? We're exploring the psychology behind our attachment to photos and how organizing them can help you preserve memories, reduce stress, and reclaim your space. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Rachel Arbuckle, Founder of 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, and she shares insightful tips and tricks for turning your photo chaos into a curated collection.
In 2014, a series of fierce fires roared through San Diego County, the largest of which started on the mountain just behind Rachel’s home. She had only minutes to grab a few items. Her instinct was to gather all of her photos, but she panicked when she realized her precious memories were all over her home in boxes, picture frames, and albums. Rachel grabbed what she could and her family headed to safety.
After many days of worry, they were able to return home to the memories they had to leave behind. Thankfully, their home was spared, but others in the community were not as fortunate. This experience not only solidified Rachel’s commitment to protect her family’s collection of photos but prompted her to create 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, encouraging people to organize and protect their important memories.

So, whether you're folding tiny onesies, browsing nursery themes, or childproofing every corner of your home, this episode is your guide to a stress-free and joy-filled nesting experience.

A wife and mother of three, she honed her unique skill set in home organization through the management of her own day-to-day family life. What began as a means of finding some calm to her own chaos, she found organizing to be something she enjoyed doing for friends and family, as well.

The National Association of Black Professional Organizers
As Black History Month comes to a close, Organize Me! Radio is taking the time to recognize trailblazers and disruptors in the organizing industry. The six founders of the National Association of Black Professional Organizers (NABPO) saw a need and created a safe space for BIPOC professional organizers. In this episode, Naeemah chats with her fellow Founders as they discuss why it's so important for groups like NABPO to take up space in the organizing industry.
NABPO’s mission is to empower and educate existing and start-up minority and women-owned businesses and other disadvantaged entrepreneurs by providing the appropriate resources and referrals to meet their business needs.
In 2015, Naeemah Ford Goldson created a Facebook group for women of color who were either in the professional organizing industry or thinking about becoming professional organizers. She created the group because women of color in the industry were drastically underrepresented, and lacked the support and resources for starting their businesses.
Having joined several other professional organizer groups previously, Naeemah never felt welcomed in any of those groups. She noticed her questions were being met with snarky responses, or not being answered at all. She then started to observe the different groups and noticed the same trend for other women of color. She reached out to some of those women and asked if they would like to join her group, and kept it exclusive to women of color.
Fast forward to 2017, Naeemah gathered a group of organizers from her Facebook group for brunch, they loved their connection so much, they decided to meet up again to brainstorm ideas on how they could collaborate. Several months later, NABPO was born. The six Founders are Naeemah Ford Goldson, Dina R. Smith, Tiffany Blassingame, Carolyn Rogers, Shaheedah Hill, and Naomi Kyalo.
NABPO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and has members all across the country. It’s the only association that provides a listing of minority professional organizers, productivity experts, and coaches for potential clients to interact with.

Women & Emotional Labor with Regina F. Lark, Ph.D. CPO®
As women, there is overwhelming pressure to "have it all". If that's your thought process, stop it right now!!! Stop carrying that heavy load, you don't have to do it all! In this episode, Naeemah chats with Regina F. Lark, Ph.D. CPO®. They dive deep into emotional labor and its effects on women.
Before tech evangelists and productivity gurus proclaimed neurohacking as a means to a better life, Dr. Regina Lark worked to decipher how the brain’s “executive functions” impact household management and organization — and expose the related outcome of the unequal distribution of labor at home. You might even call Lark the original brain-hacking entrepreneur.
In 2008, before founding A Clear Path, a Los Angeles-area based professional organizing company, Lark excelled in a career in higher education. But when budget cuts eliminated her position at UCLA, Lark started over at age 50. At A Clear Path, Lark and her ninja organizers provide professional physical, emotional, and psychological support to people who wish to clear clutter and chaos from their lives.
Lark, a Certified Professional Organizer® (CPO®) and Accredited Senior Move Manager has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Who What Wear, and other media outlets. She has been ranked annually as one of the top professional organizations in the United States by entities as diverse as KCBS-TV/KCAL-TV, Expertise.com.
In her third and most recent book, “Emotional Labor: Why a Woman’s Work Is Never Done and What to Do About It,” Lark leverages her expertise as a feminist historian and professional organizer to help women to share the weight of emotional labor to achieve gender equity at home. She offers concrete ways for women to identify and mitigate the costs of women’s unseen, unnoticed and unwaged work at home.
A National Speakers’ Association member, she delivers keynote addresses, retreats, and corporate speaking engagements on women’s leadership, emotional labor, time management, productivity, hoarding, and ADHD.

SWOOP Hanger™ with Libra Riley
Installing double hanging systems in your closet will maximize your hanging space, but what happens when you need space for your long-hanging garments? Insert this genius invention that will keep them stored in your short-hanging section beautifully. In this episode, Naeemah chats with the inventor of SWOOP Hanger™, Libra Riley. They talk about how Swoop Hanger™ will add a whole new level of organization to your closet.
Libra Riley is the Founder & CEO of SWOOP Hanger™, a patented hanger design that transitions the length of long garments to Maximize Closet Storage, Protect Garments, and Streamline Travel. Closet space is THE real estate within our real estate and most never have enough, so many go with little or no "long hang" storage to truly maximize their space. Well now with SWOOP Hanger™, casual maxi dresses and skirts, tanks, formal gowns (special occasions, bridal, prom), and jumpsuits fit on upper racks, lower racks, and in all those closet system compartments!
Libra’s interest in organizing began many years ago out of the desire to make her own space more organized, and as a result more beautiful. Necessity truly being the mother of invention, she found herself standing in her own closet in need of a solution. Moments later she grabbed two wire hangers, swooped up the bottom of her dress, and clipped the hangers together. And just like that ... SWOOP Hanger™ was born!
Libra truly believes “just a little bit of organization, gives back precious moments for life-changing inspiration!” She won first and second prize in the 2021 SCORE Black Entrepreneur Pitch Event (Start-Up Product category). Libra is a NABPO member, and prior to developing SWOOP, she worked for 10+ years in non-profit management supporting women, children, and families, and in the entertainment industry.
