About The Exceptional
Woman Network
Women of Color Entrepreneurs
are the fastest growing sector of entrepreneurs. Statistically a minimum of under 5% fail to sustain their business 5 years past inception. Lack of adequate funding opportunities, access to resources, and limited support systems tend to be the top reasons for our short business lifespan. To mitigate these barriers and open more opportunities, women of color owners and founders are in need of an Experienced Network specifically designed to speak to their explicit exigencies.

On average..
over one thousand women of color register a new business daily, that does not account for the ones that are unregistered. In order for us to change the success rate of these aspiring entrepreneurs, there must be a process to help guide them through the necessary stages of Business Development. There is a lot of information out there that tends to overwhelm the new entrepreneur in general, however when you are a "First-Generation" aspiring entrepreneur without a solid support team, you tend to build your journey into entrepreneurship missing key components vital for success.
What sets us apart..
from other networks mainly is, we are the first public network that primarily focuses on global educational platforms and resources for women of color, and like-minded supporters to eliminate the common barriers we tend to encounter throughout our entrepreneurial experience. We provide a guided track of trainings designed to meet and support our members bettering their chances of overcoming the statistical closures that women of color experience at a higher rate than our sister entrepreneurs of non-color ethnicities.
We start from inception into expansion navigating the decision-making processes, financial planning, and systematic biases that tend to mitigate our access to equal opportunities. We are NOT a racial-driven organization, anyone that recognizes the micro biases that overwhelm the opportunities of underserved, underrepresented, and economically disadvantaged individuals will benefit from our Exceptional Approach.

After years of research,
we have developed a systematic approach to answer the plaguing question: "What NOW!?!?" Many of the opportunities that are readily available tend to offer solutions that target entrepreneurs with a certain level of reoccurring revenue. Rarely do we find organizations that offer solutions that resonate with the entrepreneur that is struggling to find or regain success within their chosen industry and market.
We recognize that even the "seasoned" owner experiences influxes within their financial and business models. If there are no "recovery" programs to help guide them through the adversities while allowing them to visualize better outcomes, most concede and feel defeated. Having vetted and achievable contingency plans for financial, operational, and client-based recessions, coupled with built-in access to emergency funding will increase the maturity rate ten times.
Why women and especially women of color?
“Because WE are the CHANGE we expect to generate for our daughters, granddaughters, and future lineages.”
- Dr. Michelle S. Thomas
Our Network provides ACCESS to Leaders, funding opportunities, and information not readily available to most women of color.
We advocate for TRUE EQUALITY and support from the decision-makers, while educating establishments that tend to migrate towards people that look more like them.
We are building more than a place to network, we are building a NEW FOUNDATION of mature businesses, profitable ventures, and discrimination-free support partnerships, while minimizing the reliance on those that are still doing business within "antiquated" parameters.

Entrepreneurs can greatly benefit from mentoring. Building this relationship can benefit every mentee as they gain new knowledge, expand their networks, and advance their careers significantly.
Mentoring is a personal passion of mine because I truly understand that each one of us has goals for our lives, businesses, families and overall wellness. There is nothing more powerful than being an active driver of your own personal and professional success story. Once you connect with the right mentor, someone that recognizes your strengths, supports your vision, and offers unbiased guidance, you will begin to soar!
