I have ‘fearless’ inked on me as a reminder of the tenacity it takes to be me—a black woman owned founder & creative; disrupting multiple industries across the board. I’m super grateful for my mentors that put me on EARLY in YR1 during business about venture capital and Angel investing. • • When it comes to black women & founders of color—venture capital and grant funding is gatekept: Women of color receive 0.39% of venture capital. I have the utmost gratitude for the Fearless Fund for continuing this fight despite white capitalism. ( Fearless Fund ) • • “Being fearless does not mean you are not scared, it means that you fear LESS & do that very scary thing anyway.” — Shennice Cleckley, Executive Director of the Fearless Fund ( @iamshennicec ) Let me tell y’all— the team over at the Fearless Fund really curated a SAFE state of the art experience for black women founders: a summit where venture, meets culture. • • I laughed. I cried. I cheered on other women of color founders—connecting with some really dynamic women. There’s ALOT of shifting we are doing business wise, but note it’s to provide a better experience for those we serve via Meik Meals, @thelotusprogamexperience & @rootedeastknox . This was certainly a God move —being placed in position to FINALLY attend the #FearlessFundSummit • • Never in a million years I thought I’d be an entrepreneur—but being able to trailblaze lanes for humanitarian concepts is my specialty.
