If you're here it's because it's time for you to start taking the necessary steps to become that version of yourself that you can't stop dreaming about. We're bringing a new kind of leadership that embraces inclusion and the freedom to find success on your own terms because success looks different for everyone.

I made up my own formula to create, scale my business, moved more than 10 million dollars in revenue per year, wrote it down, and kept it as my secret.

And now for the first time, I'm sharing it with you through my proven roadmap that includes the same actionable steps, exercises, guides, and tools I used to discover, launch and love my 8-figure business.

The 2024 Fund Cycle

2022 impact report

She's First Gen Foundation's 4th anniversary Empowerment Fund cycle is set to open in March 2024. This cycle will further our goal of empowering entrepreneurs from diverse backgrounds by giving $2,500 grants to 10 women. Applications due Feb 28th - Announced Int Women's Day 2024.

Our 2024 cycle focused on supporting applicants who had been particularly impacted by the 2023 recession and layoffs, the second and third cycles will support entrepreneurs - regardless of where they are on their entrepreneurial journey, from 'established' to 'aspiring' - by funding their professional development expenses.

The smaller scale of these cycles will allow recipients to be selected more quickly, and allow the foundation to repeat giving throughout the year.
