EmpowerHER Business Podcast (formerly Women of Color in Business)
Welcome to the EmpowerHER Business Podcast — the unapologetic space for Black women entrepreneurs building bold businesses and beating the odds in their FIRST FIVE years.
Here, we talk about the real journey: money, mindset, and the messy middle that nobody warns you about. From beating the 97% failure rate to mastering your cash flow and building a business that lasts, this is where you’ll find the clarity, confidence, and community to keep going.
In our biweekly episodes, host Linette Cottrell — accountant, coach, and advocate for Black women founders — brings you bold conversations, survival strategies, and legacy-driven insights designed to help you thrive beyond year five.
