Welcome! I am Dr. Darnell Huntley, I am a wife and the mother of two. I am a professor of accounting and former corporate assistant controller with experience in corporate finance, consulting, and higher education. Through Arise & Walk, I have developed learning environments that cultivate principled leaders across generations—from children discovering identity to professionals stewarding influence in the marketplace. My courses and masterclasses integrate leadership formation, ethical governance, and practical strategy shaped by years of teaching business, accounting, and organizational leadership. I create resources for children, youth, and adults designed to help learners think clearly, lead responsibly, and build systems that produce lasting impact. My work is centered on helping people move from knowledge to wisdom—leading with identity, integrity, and disciplined influence.
"Dr. Huntley has a rare ability to take complex ideas about leadership, ethics, and strategy and make them both clear and deeply practical. Her background in corporate finance and higher education brings a level of credibility that immediately commands respect, but what truly stands out is how she challenges you to think differently about identity and responsibility as a leader. The frameworks she teaches are not just inspirational—they are structured, applicable, and transformative. After engaging with her work, I began approaching leadership decisions with greater clarity, discipline, and purpose."

"What makes Dr. Huntley’s teaching unique is that she does not simply deliver information—she develops leaders. Whether she is teaching children, students, or professionals, she has a remarkable ability to connect identity, character, and leadership in a way that stays with you long after the lesson ends. Her courses are thoughtful, structured, and deeply impactful, blending real-world experience with principles that challenge you to grow both personally and professionally. Her work through Arise & Walk is building something that truly prepares people to lead with integrity."
