Inspiring, Emotional, Confirmation! Those are the 3 words I would use to describe my amazing conversation on this episode of Full Circle with Brittany Claypool. Family, you’ve got to tune in to this one. We discussed entrepreneurship, building a business as a mother (and the guilt that we battle), empire building and so much more!

Brittany is a coach, brand strategist and Founder of HER World Enterprises, a space she created to empower women of color in business. In addition, she mentors women, opened HER World Market earlier this year and is the mind behind ““This one is for HER” a beer brewed to honor women owned business and organizations in Sacramento.

Her purpose revolves around helping the next woman step into HER greatness and family let me tell you, she’s definitely leading the way! Her motto is “the Only Way is UP!”

My conversation with guest Robynne Rose-Haymer was one of the best I’ve had in quite some time! Robynne is a phenomenal woman who is passionate about social justice. In fact, she is a member of the newly created Social Equity Council. This body of community-minded individuals and organizations was created by the City of Sacramento to guide the City’s work and transform how it works to achieve racial equity so that all of our communities can thrive.

Robynne’s transparency, sense of humor and commitment to community shines through in this raw and honest conversation. If you didn’t know her before, get to know her now…you won’t be sorry. In addition, Robynne is a 2022 Exceptional Woman of Color (EWOC) Awardee….Salute!

Wanda Cooper, Founder/CEO of Designed by Duchess stopped by the Full Circle studio to discuss her journey to entrepreneurship after spending 20+years in corporate sales.
