"Aspire was the answer to my prayers"
"I was ready to change up my business. I had lots of questions about the direction I was going, whether or not I should hire, what I should be doing, what I should thinking about as far as scaling my business, being prepared financially to grow my business. The accelerator was literally an answer to my prayers. If you are feeling like you're alone in growing your business and looking for a support system, that recognizes who you are, sees you as a woman of color as a black woman, a CEO as a potentially a mother, a wife, caregiver, Aspire is a total game changer."
