Sabrina Martinez Etiquette Hour of Power

Charm & Etiquette Training

Confidence, poise and grace for every young prince and princess — because class is an aura, and it's built one lesson at a time.

Our Approach

We come from greatness.

Charm and etiquette aren't about pretension — they're about walking into any room, at any table, in front of any person, and knowing exactly who you are and how to carry yourself. Our Phenomenal Women Charm & Etiquette School builds that confidence from the ground up, blending timeless etiquette instruction with real confidence-building work rooted in culture and self-worth.

Every session reinforces the same foundation: respect for yourself, respect for others, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you belong at the table — because you come from greatness.

Men's Mentorship Track

Golf as an Etiquette Sport

Led by Co-Founder Miguel Martinez — a championship youth basketball coach and past President of the Elijah Walker Inner-City Junior Golf Program — this track uses golf to teach patience, integrity, respect, and focus for our boys and young men.

It's paired with mentorship in grooming, personal presentation, discipline, and leadership, reinforcing the same message taught at the etiquette table: how you carry yourself matters, on the course and off it.

Every June — Second to None

Annual Cotillion & Rites of Passage

The school year builds to a single unforgettable evening. Family and friends gather as each student is formally presented to society — polished, poised, and proud of everything they've learned in social & dining etiquette, public speaking, and financial awareness (taxes, tipping, and credit literacy).

The Culmination

Presented to family. Honored by community.

Every Rites of Passage Ceremony marks a milestone — a public celebration of the confidence, courtesy, and character each student has built across the year, and a reminder that they come from greatness: African and Indigenous kings and queens. It's not just a graduation. It's a coming-of-age moment your family will remember.

In Their Own Words

What families are saying.

"The Phenomenal Women Charm Training was exactly what was needed in our life to help further Alexis's life experiences and education. It is important in today's world to be able to function in all cultures and environments and yet be proud that you are black, beautiful and have knowledge. Both Alexis and her family are very grateful and will always remember the impact the Charm Training played in her life."

Dara Smith

Mother of Alexis Smith, Debutante Queen of the Cotillion

"After researching and inquiring with many friends about charm schools and etiquette classes for young ladies, a friend referred me to the Phenomenal Women's Charm training. I must say, I was impressed... You will not be disappointed, but amazed at the transformation of your little girl into a young, poised, confident young lady. This experience, to say the least, is phenomenal!"
