Bold Moves, Deep Roots

Hi, I’m Dr. Elizabeth Vaughan Moyer, and Buffalo & Banyan is my way of sharing the values that have shaped my life. The name comes from the concept how we can elevate others and build our community.

At the heart of this work is parakaleo, a Greek word meaning “to come alongside and support.” We all need guidance, mentorship, and benefit from walking with others through the highs and lows of life.

When a storm approaches, buffalos charge into it rather than running away, facing the challenge head-on. We must face challenges with courage and determination, and we are #bettertogether.

Then there’s the beauty of banyan trees—with their vast, interconnected roots, remind us of the power of community and support systems. Just like these trees thrive and grow strong through connection, we are strongest when we build and rely on our networks.

Buffalo and Banyan helps you develop grit, find growth, and build the community you need to thrive. Together, we’ll embrace the storm, grow strong roots, and reach new heights. Ready to elevate?

With Love,

Liz and the Buffalo & Banyan Team
