You’ll want access to this community if:

  • You're a woman of color in your 20s to 50s seeking career growth

  • You're looking to break income barriers ($100K, $150K)

  • You want to develop confidence and overcome imposter syndrome

  • You're ready to up level with new peers and learn insider strategies

  • You know other BIWOC are still winning in this time and you want to know how

You might be thinking:

  • "I don't have time for another commitment."

  • "I've tried career groups before, and they didn't work."

  • "I can't afford career coaching right now."

  • "My situation is unique – no one will understand."

  • "I'm too overwhelmed to even know where to start."

We hear you. That's why we've created this flexible, affordable, and one-of-a-kind community to share career-critical intel amongst BIWOC while addressing these exact concerns.

You know that something’s wrong.

Maybe you hate your job and wake up crying on Mondays. Maybe you’re burnt out, overworked, and underpaid. Maybe your boss or colleagues are racist. Maybe your family doesn’t support what you want to do. Maybe you’ve lost the confidence and drive you used to have. Maybe you feel lost or stuck in eternal analysis-paralysis.

Venting to your friend group, your therapist, and your family isn’t cutting it anymore.

Women of color face unique challenges that are intensifying in today's rapidly changing work environment:

  • Navigating racism and sexism in the workplace

  • Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to advance

  • Struggling with imposter syndrome and self-doubt

  • Balancing career ambitions with personal life

  • Keeping up with evolving industry demands

    “I loved the community I became part of while joining this program! They were my lifeline and saving grace when I struggled to see the leadership qualities that I had.”

    Miyamoto Jensen

  • A woman with curly brown hair wearing a black blazer and black top, smiling outdoors against a brick wall.

    “This program offered support in ways that I truly needed during my [career] transition. I wanted to be honest about my situation. And when I did, I was supported. I was allowed to feel. And I was reminded that no matter what, I am gifted, highly skilled, and talented. And great things will come.”

    Karla Flores

  • Digital illustration of a woman with dark skin and black hair in a side profile, wearing large hoop earrings and a beige top, against a solid purple background.

    “Amazing experience. If I hadn't done it I wouldn't have had the courage to step back and reassess what I want to do with my talents.”
