Deliberate Velocity
Success at the next level doesn't wait for perfect conditions and neither do the
people who keep winning.
Deliberate Velocity is how high performers continue to succeed, personally and professionally, when the stakes are higher and conditions aren’t perfect.







Meet Sauda
Keynote Speaker
Film &TV Producer
Attorney
Entrepreneur
At 14, she left Brooklyn, New York for preparatory school in Connecticut, not because it was easy, but because she could already see what doors it would open.
That same clarity has driven every decision since.
After attending USC and Brooklyn Law, she co-founded a law firm directly out of law school, without a roadmap, perfect timing, or guaranteed outcome. She later relocated to California, where she ran her own education law practice while pursuing acting, and ultimately created her own opportunities, founding a production company and writing, financing, and starring in her own feature film independently.
Across law, business, and film, the pattern is consistent: she builds under real conditions.
Today, she speaks to high performers, leaders, and organizations about what it takes to continue building and succeeding when the stakes are higher.
Through my films, television projects, and Deliberate Velocity keynotes, I’m on a mission to help high performers do more than protect what they’ve built.
I SHOW THEM HOW TO KEEP BUILDING AND ADVANCING, EVEN WHEN THE STAKES ARE HIGHER AND CONDITIONS AREN’T PERFECT.

Break the Pipeline is a podcast presented by The Law Offices of Sauda Johnson, P.C. and hosted by attorneys Sauda Johnson-McNeal (CA & NY) and Naomi Barrera (NY).

In each episode, the hosts analyze both sides of the issue, breaking down the law and the practical realities to understand how different aspects of life impact children. Each episode offers thoughtful insight and potential solutions aimed at protecting children and improving their overall life outcomes. Through this approach, the show explores how life circumstances can either support children or contribute to the path to prison.
