This week, we delve into the inspiring journey of Marilynn Joyner, the Founder and CEO of Her Workplace

We explore Marilynn's journey from navigating the male-dominated commercial real estate industry to founding her own haven, Her Workplace. Lacking resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities herself as she was climbing the corporate ladder, Marilynn identified a profound need for a supportive community tailored to the unique challenges women face in their careers.

Rejecting the traditional VC route, Marilyn embraces scrappiness and resilience, charting her own path towards sustainable growth and success.
