I was fortunate enough to be invited by Dr. Tendai Ndoro to be a guest speaker on March 18 at the Rutgers-Newark Women’s Entrepreneur Network (WEN) Breakfast Series.

WEN was started in 2005 and designed only for women to give them a sacred place and space to hear empowering stories of how other women have succeeded in business and career. Attending these intimate monthly business breakfast meetings gives women an opportunity to meet role models in business and make contact with professional career women who are power brokers in their sectors, network with other women of like minds with the same aspirations for success through entrepreneurship while making contacts that matter.

Guest speakers share both their personal biography and business success stories, for example: How they got started? What made them think of going into the business they are in? What have been the keys to success? Who inspired them? What were the challenges they face and how did they overcome them? How have they have been able to manage the demands of home and business or career? What 4-5 principles would you share with women entrepreneurs? How can they tap into available business opportunities? Speakers are free to include any other issues they believe are important and relevant.

I had a great time at the meeting and met many talented, successful and innovative women who shared their individual hopes and ideas for helping others meet their goals.

I want extend a special thank you to Dr. Ndoro and her assistance Maria Lozada for all they did to make me feel welcome and allow me to share the story of how my book “Wise Words & Witty Expressions” came to be published.
