Growth, Equity + The Net Divide with Nakeia Drummond of NLD Strategic and She's Well Networked

For this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Nakeia Drummond, social entrepreneur and founder of both She’s WELL Networked and NLD Strategic. Nakeia shares her inspiring journey of building an ecosystem that uplifts and empowers Black women business owners. From starting her own consulting firm, NLD Strategic, to founding She’s Well Networked and The Women Entrepreneur Leadership Lab (The WELL), Nakeia has dedicated herself to closing the equity gap for Black women entrepreneurs. We dive into the importance of designing inclusive spaces, fostering community, and leveraging networks to create financial liberation for Black women.

In this episode, we discussed:

• How She’s WELL Networked, Inc and The WELL support Black women entrepreneurs differently than other networks

• The “Net Divide” and how She’s WELL Networked aims to bridge this gap

• How networking contributes to the growth of Black women entrepreneurs

• Common challenges Black women entrepreneurs face, and how The WELL addresses these

• And much more
