What we do
Destiny’s Foundation provides BIPOC men and women with the tools they need in the areas of coaching, consulting and resources to own and operate successful businesses, expand their careers and shape their own Destiny.
THE FACTS
The road to a sustainable and profitable business is often a tumultuous one for BIPOC communities. There are 2 main obstacles that stand in the way of a successful BIPOC enterprise: a lack of resources and exposure to other BIPOC entrepreneurs.
Black women in particular are often passed over for venture capital funding and unaware of the organizations available to support their business endeavors, usually forcing them to opt only for low-barrier entry industries. Black women are also often excluded from the boy’s club that often give men a one up in the competitive corporate sector.
Destiny’s Foundation provides Black men and women with the network they need to compete, brand strategy development, as well as business planning.
