The firm’s principal is Akosua Albritton. Akosua has years of experience in urban planning. She received her Bachelor’s degree, majoring in Marketing, from Howard University. While a Media Buyer at Grey Advertising, she uncovered the technical side of her capabilities and realized a career in community development would provide opportunities to use both her technical and creative skills. Therefore, she obtained a graduate degree in City & Regional Planning from Pratt Institute. Coupling the graduate planning studies with marketing experience has yielded a creative, yet effective
approach to community development.
Prior to launching Planning To Succeed Akosua worked at public agencies and managed community-based nonprofits. These experiences have revealed that the keys to longevity are doing regular assessment of operations, frequent skills upgrade, developing an organizational culture and maintaining a positive presence.
