I love creating experiences and platforms for small business owners to grow and connect with other like-minded entrepreneurs which is why we have launched Mogul HQ. Mogul HQ is ground zero for women of color entrepreneurs. My mission is to help you gain access to opportunities for diverse suppliers so that we as a community can provide economic impact in the communities where we work, live and play. MogulCon is just that platform. A 3-Day experience that attracts hundreds of women of color that are looking to grow and scale their businesses globally.
I say all this because I too had aspirations of becoming a business-owner at a very young age. Taking advice from my father, great-grandmother and uncles, who were all profitable business owners, I began my entrepreneurial journey at the age of 19. You will hear me say “entrepreneurship is in my DNA”. By the time I was 20, I was blessed to have my first 6-figure business, United Helping Hands, a durable medical equipment business that served terminally ill patients. From there I sold the business and became a real estate investor which gave me the investment capital to become a multi-million dollar serial entrepreneur. I then launched businesses in in real estate and technology, raised capital for small businesses, took products to market in retail and big box stores and launched a global logistics company. I share this because it’s important for any business coach you choose to have a reference point, real business experience so they can truly help you become successful.
As an authority on entrepreneurship, leadership, and more, I have had the opportunity to produce numerous mega events and raised thousands of dollars in sponsorships that support women’s initiatives by collaborating with major brands such as Delta Air Lines, Georgia Power, Microsoft, IKEA, State Farm, Wells Fargo, East West Bank, PopChips and The Small Business Administration to name a few.

Felicia has had the pleasure of working with Georgia State University’s Andrew Young School of Policy, The University of Phoenix, The Urban League of Greater Atlanta’s Entrepreneurship Center, Fulton County, City of Atlanta, The Environmental Protection Agency, Green For All, and many other organizations.
