WHO WE ARE
Liminality Consulting supports the healthy development of young children by investing in the people, programs, and policies that directly impact them.
Our vision is to create a world where liberatory frameworks are embraced in early childhood to nurture inclusive mindsets, promote radical self-love, and disrupt the development of harmful biases.
We are dedicated to advancing translational research to equip parents, families, early educators, program leaders, and policymakers with accessible tools and intentional practices designed to support the healthy development of all young children and build equitable systems that enable them to thrive.

Dr. Anissa L. Eddie is the Founder & Principal Consultant for Liminality Consulting, LLC. The word “liminal” comes from the Latin root, limen, which means “threshold.” The liminal space is the “crossing over” space – a space where you have left something behind, but you are not yet fully in something else. Liminality Consulting enters into this transitional space to help clients navigate the space between where they are and where they want to be.
Anissa earned her Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Studies from Michigan State University. Her concentration area is child development and her research focuses on ethnic-racial identity development and socialization in early childhood. Anissa is also a Policy Fellow with the National Black Child Development Institute, and a Pritzker Fellow with the National Collaborative for Infants and Toddlers.
Anissa completed her Bachelor of Social Work at Calvin University and earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan with concentrations in the areas of community organizing, policy, and evaluation. Anissa has previous experience as a school-based social worker, an outpatient therapist and an adjunct professor.
Through Liminality Consulting, Anissa offers services in the areas of leadership coaching, process facilitation, project management, research support, and grant writing. Liminality also applies subject matter expertise through project advising, content review, workshop delivery, and children's media cultural consulting.
