Inner City Intellectual

We Got You! The Real You!

Inner City Intellectual was founded by Mariah Meachem-Williams, a first generation college graduate (x3). She knows what it feels like to come from a place where people don’t expect you to win .. and then win anyway! She is here for the students, the dreamers, the career-builders, the ones juggling school, work, life, and still finding a way to show up. The most important rule? She is anti code-switch! You get to show up exactly as you are.

This space is for people who come from blocks, boroughs, and stories that shaped them. For folks who grind hard, think deeply, and refuse to shrink themselves in professional spaces. Inner City Intellectual is where real life meets real strategy. Let us help you turn your experience into leverage, whether that’s leveling up your resume, getting your LinkedIn right, writing the personal statement that actually sounds like you, or mapping out the next move in your college or career journey.

Everything here is built with intention, authenticity; direct, grounded, and unstoppable. No fluff. No fake professionalism. No “talk a certain way to get in the room.” You are the room.
