St. Louis, here I come! 🎤

I am beyond honored to share that I will be taking the stage as a Keynote Speaker at the One Woman Fearless! Women’s Summit 2026 in St. Louis, MO on Saturday, September 19th.

My talk, “Trade the Hustle for the Vision: How Women Build Businesses That Actually Work for Them,” is one I have been building toward, and I cannot wait to deliver it to a room full of women who are ready to stop being busy and start being profitable.

She thought it would just be her. She looked up and had a whole staff.

Arrie Simpson built The Heart of Counseling & Wellness PLLC into a group practice of seven therapists — and then turned around and founded Josephine’s Way, a nonprofit dedicated to making sure nobody has a reason not to get the mental health care they need.

In this episode she gets real about the loneliness of leadership, her own journey with imposter syndrome and rejection, why Black women absolutely can work together, and why healing is always done in community.

This one hits different.

She walked into a room full of men who asked,
“What qualifies you to be here?”

She fixed the locomotive they couldn’t… and kept going.

Nikeva Lawrence went from electrical engineer to inspecting locomotives across the country to owning SouthWind Events — one of the most intentional wedding planning businesses you’ll ever encounter.

In this episode, she gets real about building a business with integrity, learning that “no” is a complete sentence, and why being calm in chaos is actually a God-given gift.

This one will make you laugh, nod, and take notes.

Episode 3: I Swear I’m An Introvert — From Locomotives to Love Stories - Meet Nikeva Lawrence She inspected and repaired locomotives as a 22-year-old Black woman walking into rail shops full of older white men who questioned why she was there. She fix...

She was told no by every bank.

Her contractor took her money and disappeared.
Then COVID hit — right before she was supposed to open her doors.

But Oladoyin (Doyin) Ajilore didn’t quit.

She put her home up as collateral, paid eight employees to stay home just to protect her license, and kept a promise she made to a cousin she lost to leukemia.

The result?

Dreamers Academy and Dreamers Academy II — two Black-owned early childhood education centers built on resilience, purpose, and community.

Her story is powerful.
Her journey is real.
And this conversation will stay with you.

Today feels like the perfect day to share something that is incredibly close to my heart.

In honor of International Women’s Day, I am officially launching the new season of I Swear I’m An Introvert. 🎙️

I created this podcast because I believe our little brown girls deserve to see women who look like them building businesses, leading communities, and walking boldly in who they were created to be.

This platform celebrates Black women entrepreneurs, leaders, and visionaries who are creating impact and legacy every single day.

While this podcast proudly celebrates Black women, the message is for every woman who has ever questioned if she was enough, ready enough, or bold enough to pursue her purpose.

The truth is… you already are.
