Sept 10–12, I officially completed orientation for the Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business Program—and I’m beyond excited to bring everything I’ve learned back to Furbaby Bestie! ✨
Here’s what inspired me most about our Cohort 8:
🐾 314 women strong—the largest cohort yet
🐾 Representing 37 states across the U.S.
🐾 $34M+ in collective revenue generated
Special love to my Growth Group 6 sisters—you all make this journey even more powerful. And an early, heartfelt thank-you to my business advisor, Kathey Porter, for being my mirror—helping me see both the vision and the work ahead.
And to Los Angeles, CA and all the Furbaby Bestie clients who have been with me since day one—🙏🏾 thank you for believing in this dream from conception and growing alongside us.
At a time when opportunities for Black women entrepreneurs can feel limited, this program has been pure fuel. Thank you, Goldman Sachs, for pouring into our businesses and partnering with incredible leaders to build a curriculum that helps us all grow. Thank you JumpStart Inc. and NYU Stern for paving the lane of success for us all and providing the tools necessary for this journey.
Furbaby Bestie is ready to take these insights and keep creating next-level care for pets—and the people who love them. 🐾🩷😎
