What is the CEO Chick Network?
It is a collective of female entrepreneurs, predominantly minority, Black and Hispanics who come together to improve on their business skills. We do tons of education, not just empowerment, but true education, giving them insight into what it takes to run a profitable business.
We work with women from various backgrounds. Our mantra is to collaborate, create and dominate, and that’s what we aim to do at the network to bring people together to build relationships. Relationships are the number one currency. So we place a high value on how to network, how to build relationships, how to bring something of value to a table.
What was the inspiration for you behind creating this business?

I struggled and I noticed that there was a lack of leadership and mentorship in that space. So that really sparked something in me to look for people that were on this entrepreneurial journey. Organically, it began to take shape to what we see today.
