CEO + Founder of HBCUMADE
A visionary entrepreneur and community builder with over a decade of experience in the startup ecosystem. As the Founder and CEO of HBCUMADE, I’m dedicated to creating opportunities for HBCU students, alumni, and entrepreneurs to connect, collaborate, and thrive. Based in Atlanta, GA, I’ve made it my mission to bridge gaps in underserved communities through innovative platforms that drive mentorship, career growth, and meaningful relationships. A proud Virginia State University alumna, I’m committed to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion in everything I do. Outside of work, I love spending time with my Morkie puppy, Brooklyn, and finding new ways to turn bold ideas into reality.

MY BLACK JOB is BLACK BRILLIANCE ♠️
A few months ago, I had the distinct honor of highlighting the remarkable achievements of Black Agency Owners from Atlanta and Boston in a thought-provoking conversation titled "From Visions to Vanguard | Building Agency through Black Brilliance." This transformative discussion featured industry trailblazers such as Angela Watts of @10 Squared and founder of Atlanta Fashion Week, Jahi Rawlings of Finish First Marketing, Fena Fenelon of Sofenomenal Agency, Dora Din Whittley of The Whittley Agency, and Ashley M. Fox of Emplify.
As the founder and CEO of THE VOEU AGENCY, it was incredibly invigorating and enlightening to engage with such esteemed peers. We delved deep into the exchange of resources, strategies, and wisdom, all aimed at uplifting and empowering our community.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to WIX Studios for sponsoring this pivotal conversation, and to The Gathering Spot for providing an inspiring space that enables us to continually push boundaries, lead with innovation, and foster meaningful connections.
Looking forward to more opportunities to amplify and champion Black Brilliance across industries and in the world beyond.
