Theyâre scheduled back-to-back, and thereâs a reason for that.
The first panel covers Operations, Systems and Sales.
The second focuses on how to use AI, so youâre not doing everything solo.
Theyâre next to each other on the agenda because both tackle the same question, just from different angles:
How do you stop being the bottleneck in your own business?
Maybe you find yourself talking to your AI late at night, wondering, âWhat CRM do I actually need?â
Or maybe youâre still improvising on sales calls because no one ever showed you how to structure them.
You might even hesitate to hire because youâre unsure what to delegate first, all while trying to look like youâve got it under control.
Then you need to be in this room.
In the first panel, Iâm sitting down with Evelyn Kimani and Talica Davies đŠ to discuss operations, systems and sales.
After that, weâll pause for a guided meditation with Emefa Boamah to help you reset. When you return, weâll dive even deeper.
For the second panel, Iâll be joined by Cass Cooper, MHR, Briana N. Taylor, MBA and Bibigi Haile, MSc.
Cass is a top LinkedIn influencer who uses AI in her business every day and knows whatâs truly worth your time.
Briana is an AI consultant and former Microsoft employee with an MBA who believes AI should make your life easier with simple automations.
Bibigi holds a masterâs in Strategy and takes a research-driven approach to using AI in her visibility work.
Hereâs exactly why I put these sessions together.
The operations panel will help you spot what needs fixing. The AI panel will show you what you can automate. Experiencing both in order will help you see your business in a new light.
2026 Level Up Summit. Link in bio.
She became the first woman and the first woman of color to win Best Cinematography for Sinners, a film she shot in large-format 65mm and IMAX, pushing the craft forward in both artistic and historic ways.
But what stayed with me was what her speech represented.
She asked the women in the room to stand because she knew she did not get there alone.
That is the part more women in business need to hear.
You do not build your next level by standing outside the room, waiting to feel ready.
You build it by being willing to enter.
You can watch a moment like that and call it inspiring.
I look at it and see something much deeper.
I see proof that proximity matters.
Community matters.
Being in rooms with women who are building serious things matters.
That is exactly why this summit exists.
Women enter this space at every stage, from those shaping their first offers to those running established businesses.
What connects them is the willingness to keep growing and the courage to rethink what is possible.
Something powerful happens when ambitious women gather and tell the truth about what they are building and where they want to go next. Real strategies get shared, connections get formed and suddenly the path forward feels clearer.
For two days, we are making room for real conversation, real strategy and women building serious things.
You will leave with connections and strategies that will upgrade your life and business
And when the summit ends, the support does not.
You will have opportunities to stay connected with the collective and keep getting support as you put your new strategies into action.
You do not need permission to enter the room.
You need to be willing to walk into one that matches the future you are building.
Come get in the room with us, March 26 & 27th.
A few months ago, I was on a Zoom with Mel McSherry, who is a member of my PDA collective.
In the middle of the conversation, I asked her a question.
"Would you like to moderate a panel at the next Level Up Summit?"
She said yes immediately.
So I told her the topic could be anything she wanted. I trusted her to choose something interesting.
She came back with this brilliance.
Burning Down Normal: The New Playbook for Succeeding Differently
Moderator, Mel McSherry, with Featured Panelists: Kim Romain, Amelia Hruby, PhD and vp wright.
Kim spent 25 years as an attorney. Then she walked away. Her life got bigger.
Amelia deleted social media in 2021. People said her business would struggle. It grew!
Mel built a thriving business while being the primary caregiver to their autistic son.
vp wright is an author who has coached more than 1,500 entrepreneurs and launched The Creativeâs Corner Support Fund to support Black women, Indigenous women, and Women of Color creatives.
None of these stories follow the traditional playbook.
That is exactly the point.
If you have ever felt like the strategies everyone pushes do not quite fit your life, this conversation is for you.

Very few build something that lasts.
I left home at 13.
Built a successful career in commercial real estate for over a decade.
Launched my agency in 2008 during the Great Recession with $700. Rebuilt from a low point of $38 in my account.
Nearly 30 years and $1.6 billion in transactions later, a woman in my community asked me a question I couldn't stop thinking about: how have you sustained success through all of it?
My answer became a framework. And today, that framework is featured on.
Four parts. Nearly 30 years of proof.
#entrepreneur #femalefounders #ambition #joyfulambition #success
When invited me to moderate a panel for the Level Up Summit, hosted by, I knew it was a chance to go deeper into a message I care about: we have full say in how we create the business, money, and life we want. And I knew exactly who I wanted to feature.
Weâre all feeling the shifts in how we define success. Traditional formulas no longer feel aligned, yet the âproofâ that doing things differently can be profitable isnât always as loud or visible as we want.
If youâre ready to design your own âhowâ around what you truly wantâand to go against the ânormââbut youâre not sure itâs actually possible, this conversation is for you.
Meet the guests on my panel:
is an author, Creative Business Coach, DEIAR Educator, and founder of VP Wright International and dnglyfe, a hybrid community documenting and promoting Houstonâs creative ecosystem. Through powerful storytelling and full transparency about her life and business, VP has coached over 1,500 entrepreneurs through the business side of creative work. Sheâs the bestselling author of you are enough (5,000+ copies sold) and has been featured by the Forward Times, MSNBC, NPR, Vox, and Yahoo Finance.
Amelia Hruby, PhD is the Founder of Softer Sounds Podcast Studio, Host of Off the Grid: Leaving Social Media, and author of Your Attention is Sacred Except on Social Media. Amelia has built a six-figure business and a thriving community-building platformâentirely without social media.
is a Life & Business Alchemist and Founder of The Rising Visionaries. Drawing on 25+ years as an attorney, nonprofit executive, and artistâplus Human Design, astrology, and somatic wisdomâKim helps leaders create transformative impact without burnout.
Together, these three incredible humansâand myselfâare the âproofâ that doing it your way is not only possible, itâs profitable and sustainable. Youâll leave with inspiration to embrace your unique path, plus concrete steps you can implement right away.

And yet, that is exactly what we're about to do at the Level Up Summit.
, and I are sitting down with, PR professional, recording artist and mental health advocate, for a fireside chat that goes places most stages won't.
In 2023, Kristin told us about a song she sang at an event. We both said the same thing. Record it and release it.
She did.
Kristin has been building her album ever since, and her single "Bloom" drops this month.
We're going to talk about all of it.
The PR career. Her music. Her incredible new mental health podcast, she's building with a mission behind it. What it costs to be visible and to stay hidden.
You will leave this conversation with:
Language for the tension between ambition and self-preservation
A new framework for joy as a competitive advantage, not something you earn after you've worked hard enough
Permission to be fully, publicly, unapologetically multi-dimensional
And proof that one conversation between women can change the entire trajectory of what you create
This intimate fireside chat is three women in a room telling the truth about what it really takes to be whole and show up fully.
We are 15 days out and I have 16 VIP tickets remaining.
If you have been waiting for a sign, this is it. The room will not feel like this again.
March 26-27

One of the biggest challenges new entrepreneurs face.
recently asked me to share my insights on how founders can secure funding, and interestingly enough, asked me the same question a few years ago, leading to an entire webinar on the subject.
The one key strategy I shared with Forbes:
Develop A Strong Personal Brand
Focus on building a strong personal brand that showcases your credibility and expertise. Investors often invest in people they trust, not just ideas. Sharing your story, values and vision through platforms like LinkedIn can inspire confidence and open doors to alternative funding sources. A strong personal brand positions you as a leader worth betting on while attracting the support you need.
Thank you, Forbes Business Council, for the opportunity to contribute alongside 18 other council members.

What strategies have helped you secure funding?
Letâs share and support each other.
#Entrepreneurship #Funding #PersonalBrand #ForbesBusinessCouncil #Leadership
To wait your turn.
To be patient.
But how long will you wait for permission to live the life you want?
The honest truth...
No one is coming to tap you on the shoulder and tell you itâs your time.
No one will hand you the business, the money, the freedom, or the confidence you crave.
Thatâs on you.
And thatâs precisely why we created the 2025 Level Up Summitâa two-day accelerator designed to help ambitious women like you break through, scale up, and claim the success you deserve.
đč Position yourself as an industry leader; not just another name in the crowd.
đč Get the strategies that work so you stop spinning your wheels.
đč Surround yourself with high-level women who push you forward, not hold you back.
Because in 2023, 88% of women entrepreneurs made less than $100K.
Letâs make sure thatâs not you in 2025.
Join 31.5K professionals who are done waiting and ready to level up.

Your success isnât a matter of if; itâs a matter of when.
And the when is now.
âWhy not stick to something stable?â
they asked.
âWhat if it doesnât work?â
they wondered.
I even questioned myself on the hardest days.
Long hours, financial strain, and failure felt overwhelming.
But ambition is about self-belief.
Building a business is messy, risky, and uncertain.
Yet, creating something from nothing is incredibly powerful.
The same people now ask how I succeeded.
They couldnât see my vision, but I did.
Your ambition is your superpower.
Own it.
