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.
✨ If you’re ready to ditch scarcity thinking, step fully into your CEO role, and build the empire you deserve — you’re in the right place.

WOCIB Podcast: Storytelling and the Art of Saying no with Tessa Edison
Tessa Edison is a visionary entrepreneur and branding expert dedicated to elevating the stories of real estate developers through her boutique branding advisory firm, ASSET Management Consulting.
With over 20 years of experience in real estate, Tessa has built her career on a foundation of success and innovation.
Before launching ASSET, she served as Vice President of Business Development, where she generated over $100 million in business and formed strong industry relationships.
Tessa soon realized her peers weren’t receiving the recognition they deserved for their transformative work and was inspired to begin telling their stories, a passion that eventually led to the creation of ASSET Management Consulting.
Tessa shares her entrepreneur journey inclusive of knowing when to say no, leveling up to hire a coach, and dealing with imposter syndrome.
I had a great time chatting and learning with Tessa. I enjoyed all the insights and gems she shared, and I know you will find them valuable too! She's family now, part of the WOCIB sisterhood! Be sure to connect with her today!
