Back in November, The Beyond the Business Suit Podcast celebrated Women's Entrepreneurship Day with three special female entrepreneurs including, Kahlilah Guyah of EHS Compliance Services, Shila Nieves Burney of Zane Venture Fund and Dr. Naeema Olatunji of Elevate Family Chiropractic.
In this episode, we all explore the trials and tribulations that the ever-evolving entrepreneurship journey can bring along with the wins that make it all worthwhile. We reflect on what keeps us going while evaluating the immense power we hold with each step that we encounter throughout our path.
As four Black female entrepreneurs, we strive to encourage and inspire our fellow women of color to take the leap of faith and bet on themselves! Be the light in someone else's life by simply using your courage to invest back in yourself. You never know who's watching!
QUOTABLES:
“It’s important that we have real talks about entrepreneurship. We are not islands. We have support around us.”
“Do it, and do it big!”
“There is no perfect plan.”
QUICKFIRE QUESTIONS:
- What is the best advice you’ve ever received: My motto, ‘do it afraid.' There's so much paralysis in fear. Just taking that first step, there are doors waiting to open to you for whatever the universe and God has meant for you to be. – Kahlilah Guyah
- What was your first job ever? KFC in high school and college. They asked me to be a manager and I said “no.” I was just there for the money to get by. – Shila Nieves Burney
- Who do you stan? It’s super cheesy but its you [Kailei Carr]. When I think about the things you have created in your life. Sometimes you don’t realize who you bless through the work that you do. You have blessed me by your walk. The walk that you walk gives the rest of us courage. – Dr. Naeema Olatunji
