Fueling Dreams, Building Wealth was a project close to my heart, aimed at empowering Black women entrepreneurs with limited access to resources. I managed event logistics, marketing, and data analysis, providing tools and knowledge to help them start or scale their businesses and promote financial literacy.
Fueling Dreams, Building Wealth was a three-city tour designed to empower Black and Brown women entrepreneurs by equipping them with the knowledge and tools necessary to build and sustain wealth. Through workshops, expert panels, and networking opportunities, the tour provided valuable resources to help attendees start or scale their businesses. A total of 265 unique participants attended across the three cities, making a significant impact on underserved communities.
The first event in Dallas, Texas, was a powerful launch for the tour. It attracted a broad audience of women entrepreneurs, eager to learn strategies for wealth building and business growth. Key sessions focused on:
